The City of Tallahassee's administrative offices will be closed in observance of the Christmas holiday on Monday, Dec. 25. Following are schedule changes for Dec. 24-30 for solid waste customers living inside the Tallahassee city limits (red week), StarMetro, Tallahassee Animal Services and City-run community centers.
Garbage and Recycling Collection
During the holiday week, residential garbage, recycling, bulky items and yard waste customers will receive service one day later than their regularly scheduled service.
Customers are encouraged to set their collection bins behind the curb the night before their service day. Both containers returned to the home no later than the day after collection. Bulky items and yard waste should be placed behind the curb no earlier than the weekend before your collection day. To look up collection dates for specific addresses, please visit Talgov.com. For more information, visit Talgov.com/YOU or call 850-891-4968.This holiday season, keep in mind that boxes serve as billboards for criminals driving through your neighborhood, and a dry tree poses a fire hazard. To enhance public safety, the City of Tallahassee will set up recycling sites in three community locations for cardboard boxes and live-cut Christmas trees. The sites will be open Friday, Dec. 22, through Sunday, Jan. 7. They will be located at Tom Brown Park (443 Easterwood Drive), San Luis Mission Park (1313 San Luis Road) and Myers Park (1206 Myers Park Drive). When dropping off your live-cut tree, remove all decorations; these trees will be recycled into mulch for use in City parks.

On Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, fixed routes will operate on a Sunday schedule with no night service, Dial-A-Ride will operate from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and the Call Center will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. On Christmas, Dec. 25, there will be no fixed route or Dial-A-Ride services offered, and the Call Center will be closed.
