St. Pete Trash Collection Changes, Memorial Day Closings

ST. PETESBURG, FL — As St. Petersburg prepares for the long Memorial Day weekend, the city has announced a number of closings and a bit of a shuffle in trash collection dates.

While all St. Petersburg city government offices will be closed Monday, May 30 in honor of the holiday, some facilities and emergency services will remain open.

Residential garbage customers who normally have their trash picked up on Mondays will have to wait until Tuesday, the city said in an email to media.

The following facilities will be closed on Memorial Day Monday:

• Boyd Hill Nature Preserve

• All recreation centers
• The Coliseum
• Enoch Davis Center
• The Jamestown Apartments-Townhomes office and the Dwight H. Jones Neighborhood Center
