Once a Tropical Storm or Hurricane Warning or Watch has been issued for our area, please adhere to the following:
    • Do not cut down trees or do major yard work.
    • Do not begin construction projects that produce debris.
    • Once a watch or warning has been issued do not trim
      vegetation of any kind. Mass cutting places a 
      tremendous burden on the normal collection process and
      there is not enough equipment or manpower to collect
      the additional material before the storm makes landfall.
    • Do not take material, of any kind, to the curb during a
      watch or warning period.
Failure to adhere to the above safety requirements will lead to Code Enforcement Action and the possibility of major fines.

WHY ARE OUR GARBAGE RATES HIGHER?
 Recently, a comparison study of garbage service was conducted within Duval County. At first glance, it appeared the citizens of Neptune Beach paid a higher rate for their service. However, when looking closely at this study, the level of service varied greatly; Neptune Beach residents receive side-yard service at two days a week, two of our sister cities have street pick up only at one day a week.

Service at a low price is usually poor; as a City, we demand quality. In other words, you get what you pay for and we want the best for our citizens.
 

The City of Neptune Beach is a community of 7,500 residents located in Duval County on a barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Intracoastal Waterway on the west. The primary focus of the community is to protect the residential nature of the City and to maintain its high quality of life through strict growth management standards. Neptune Beach comprises approximately 2.5 square miles and is bounded by the City of Atlantic Beach to the north and the City of Jacksonville Beach to the south.

The name Neptune Beach has origins dating back to the year 1922 when Dan Wheeler built his own train station next to his home and named it Neptune. Mr. Wheeler had been informed that if he were to build a station, the train would be required to stop. The construction of the station eliminated his walking to Mayport in order to take the train to work in Jacksonville. The station was located where the Sea Turtle Inn is now located.

The area remained a part of Jacksonville Beach until the tax revolt of 1931, when on August 11, the residents of Neptune voted 113 to 31 to secede from Jacksonville Beach and incorporate the City of Neptune Beach.

The City operates under a City Manager-Council form of government. Residents elect a Mayor and four additional City Councilors which make up the City Council. The Council is responsible for enacting ordinances and resolutions which govern the City. The mayor presides over the council meetings. The City Council appoints a City Manager who serves as the chief executive officer and is charged with the enforcement of all ordinances and resolutions passed by the City Council. The Chief of Police, Public Services Director and Finance Director are appointed by the City Manager.
