Jacksonville Beach, FL Trash & Recycling: Holiday Pickup Schedule (2026)

Section 27-28 of the Jacksonville Beach Code, Collection service on holidays, handles schedule shifts. It names three holidays directly: New Years Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, and it adds any other holiday listed in the solid waste franchise contract. The relief applies only if the holiday falls on a regularly scheduled pick up day. When it does, the franchisee is not required to pick up that day, but the section still sets the outer limit: the franchisee shall collect solid waste on the holiday or the following day, excluding Sunday.

A Saturday holiday therefore cannot push collection to Sunday under this text. The holiday is the one observed by the city, not a date picked by the hauler. The code does not print a calendar of dates or a list of the other holidays. Those sit in the franchise contract, which Section 27-43(c) incorporates by reference as part of Article III, so the contract is the place to confirm anything beyond the three holidays named. Section 27-29 ties service hours to the same contract: the franchisee provides residential and small commercial collection between the hours set forth in the city's solid waste franchise contract, and customers place waste in approved receptacles at the proper location before 7:00 a.m. on the appropriate collection day.

A holiday shift moves the collection day, so the 7:00 a.m. deadline attaches to the shifted day. Collection is carried out by the city's solid waste franchisee, and the city manager and the public works director administer the service under Section 27-16.
