Residents in St. Johns County may experience a delay in yard waste collection due to the national workforce shortage. Republic Services and Advanced Disposal have encountered difficulties completing yard waste routes on scheduled service days. In an effort to provide additional options to the community, residents may bring yard waste to the following locations free of charge:
• Tillman Ridge Transfer Station – 3005 Allen Nease Road, Elkton, drop off hours are from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday.
• Republic Services Facility – 445A Republic Drive, St. Augustine, drop off hours are from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Drop off service is for St. Johns County residential customers only; no commercial trucks or vehicles will be allowed. In addition, all garbage and recycling routes will remain on schedule.
St. Johns County Solid Waste Division is working with Republic Services and Advanced Disposal to ensure yard debris collections are being conducted as quickly as possible. For more information, call the Solid Waste Division at 904-827-6980 or visit www.recyclestjohns.com.
