Due to the forecast of peak storm conditions from Helene affecting St. Johns County later today and into the night, St. Johns County, the City of St. Augustine, and the City of St. Augustine Beach encourage residents to place household garbage, recycling, and yard debris at the curb on Friday morning by 6 a.m. This will help reduce the potential for solid waste to be scattered throughout neighborhoods and the surrounding communities due to wind and rain conditions that are forecast for tonight.
