Other than emergency services, all Alachua County government offices will be closed on Monday, Jan. 19, 2026, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
“Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy reminds us that progress is built through service, equity, and a shared commitment to justice,” said Alachua County Commission Chair Ken Cornell. “As we honor his life and work, we recommit ourselves to strengthening our community by treating one another with dignity, respect, and compassion.”
Due to the holiday, residential curbside collection services for solid waste, recycling, and yard trash will be delayed by one day for the entire week. The regular schedule for these services will resume the following week on Monday, Jan. 26.
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.
For more information, contact Alachua County Solid Waste and Resources Recovery Director Patrick Irby at 352-338-3233.
