- Garbage Transition Information
Please remember to leave your blue Republic Services cans at the curb and empty after your final Republic pickup THIS WEEK.
Republic has indicated that they will begin collecting their cans this week and will continue until all cans have been picked up. If your cans are not picked up, please contact Republic directly at (219) 310-2356.
Haven’t received your new GMI cans yet? Please don’t worry! GMI is still working through deliveries.
Your next pickup will be handled by GMI. Please use your new GMI cans for your next scheduled service:

- East Side of US 41: Monday, November 2nd and remains on Mondays thereafter
The Town has also contacted homeowners associations (HOAs) to explain that we are in the middle of a garbage service transition and has requested that they refrain from issuing fines to residents until the transition is complete.

- The Town of St. John is proud to host our 22nd Annual “Christmas in the Park” located at Prairie West Park along 93rd Avenue. For a donation of $110 your business, organization, club, church, school, family, etc. can sponsor a tree to decorate along the Tree Walk. The possibilities are endless so join in the fun to kick off the Holiday Season. There are only 100 trees available so act fast before they are sold out! You will be included in our Facebook Sponsor Spotlight where your organization will be individually highlighted for your participation in this event.
Each tree is approximately 6′ in height and includes standard white lights already attached. We will leave the decorating up to you so be as creative as you’d like but keep in mind this is outdoors and decorations must be environmentally friendly. The Town reserves the right to remove trees that use offensive language and/or take away from the festivities. Prizes will be awarded for the 3 most creative trees.
- Payment must be received no later than Monday, November 2, 2026.
- Participants will receive an email when the trees are available to decorate. Please have your trees decorated by Thursday, November 26, 2026.
- Opening Night is Friday, November 27, 2026. Tree lighting is at 7 PM.
- Trees will be on display through January 1, 2027. All decorations must be removed by January 6th so Public Works can dispose of the trees.
We kindly ask for your participation so we can continue to enjoy these types of
community events for our families. Complete the Tree Sponsor Form and return it to the Clerk-Treasurer’s Office.
Thank you for your support,
Beth R. Hernandez
Clerk-Treasurer
