County Closings and Waste Collection for Veterans Day

In observance of Veterans Day, most Alachua County offices will be closed on Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026, with the exception of emergency services, Leveda Brown Environmental Park and the Hazardous Waste Collection Center.

The Veterans Day holiday will not affect residential curbside collection service for solid waste, recycling, and yard trash. The regular schedule for these services will occur on Wednesday. 

Although Animal Resources will be closed, resource 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.
