Gainesville shifts to new trash pickup schedule starting Oct. 5

About 65% of Gainesville households will see their curbside collection day change when the city moves to a new five-day solid waste pickup schedule on Oct. 5, coinciding with a transition to a new residential collection contract with GFL Environmental. The current three-day schedule remains in effect through the week of Sept. 28 with no disruption to Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday routes. Alachua County has also issued a reminder that related residential curbside collection changes take effect Oct. 1.
