St. Johns County residents should note the upcoming Memorial Day office closures as various county departments will be taking a day off in honor of the holiday. According to information found on the St. Johns County website, government facilities including the Board of County Commissioners, Administrative offices, all library branches, and the Supervisor of Elections office among others, will be closed on May 26. So mark your calendars and sort any pressing matters before the long weekend hits.
Following the holiday, all affected offices will promptly reopen on May 27, ready to serve the public once more with standard operating hours. The break gives employees and officials a well-deserved pause to reflect and honor the sacrifice of military members, but the gears of daily life keep turning, garbage and recycling services will continue without interruption, and both the Tillman Ridge and Stratton Road Transfer Stations are slated to operate as usual.
The county is also leveraging technology to improve waste management with the Recycle Coach app. This nifty piece of tech is more than just a scheduling tool—it's a mini-encyclopedia for all things waste-related. As detailed on the St. Johns County's website, residents can download the application or use the widget on the website to get notifications about their curbside collection schedule, but that's not all, they can discover the proper disposal methods for various types of waste, ensuring that recycling and trash are sorted correctly, it's a small step for a resident, but a giant leap for maintaining the environment.
