Service Area and Delivery Fee Explained

Dumpster Dogs offers free delivery within 25 miles of our yard.
If you’re outside that area, there’s a small $8 per mile fee for the extra distance. This is based on a formula of $2 per Mile 2 trips there and back.

For example, Downtown St. Petersburg is about 15 miles beyond our 25-mile zone, so that’s:
15 miles × $8 = $120 extra total for delivery and pickup.

We sometimes waive this fee if we’re already working in your area that day.

We regularly serve:
Brandon, Clearwater, Dunedin, Holiday, Largo, Land O’ Lakes, Lutz, Odessa, Spring Hill, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Tarpon Springs, Temple Terrace, and Wesley Chapel.
