Alachua County offices closed for Juneteenth
Press release from Alachua County
ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla. – Other than essential services, most Alachua County offices will be closed on Friday, June 19, 2026, in observance of Juneteenth.
Residential curbside collection service for solid waste, recycling, and yard trash will not be affected by the holiday. The Leveda Brown Environmental Park and Transfer Station and the Hazardous Waste Collection Center will remain open.
Alachua County Animal Resources will also be closed Friday, but will resume its regular schedule and reopen on Saturday at 10:30 a.m.
Animal Resources officers respond 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays, to matters affecting public safety and animals in immediate danger. Citizens should dial 911 to report such emergencies on Sundays, holidays, and between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. nightly.
The city, RTS, and county get off with pay , and I have to work on Friday too like the lowly garbage man.. Equity & inclusion for thee, and not for me! It’s not fair!
I’m sure their celebration will include random gun shots affecting their own community members too.
