There are plenty of uniquely Jacksonville activities to keep you busy this holiday season, and we've collected a few of our favorites here.

In observance of the New Year’s holiday, the following City government offices and facilities will be closed on Friday, Dec. 31.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (December 29, 2021) – Since the suspension of curbside recycling services beginning October 4, 2021, a satisfactory result has not yet been achieved in the collection of yard waste or recyclables. Because our city deserves better, additional conversation concerning the state of Jacksonville’s solid waste services are necessary to move toward solutions.

In an effort to shine light on this issue affecting citizens across our city, in mid-January, I will host an open-to-the-public noticed meeting at City Hall to discuss accountability, transparency, and expectations related to these fee-based solid waste services. Council members, representatives of our contracted haulers, and members of the Administration are invited to attend. The meeting will include a time for public comment.

In observance of Christmas, the following City government offices and facilities will be closed Friday, Dec. 24 and Monday, Dec. 27.
