Dumpster Rental in Neptune Beach, FL

Neptune Beach since 1884

Neptune Beach is a city is pleasantly nestled in the on the northeast coast of Florida and is part of Duval County.  Eugene F. Gilbert bought the land that is now Neptune Beach in 1884.  The railroad passed through the area of Neptune and eventually became an official stop after Dan Wheeler, who was tired of walking home from a proximate train stop, built a station and named it Neptune. In 1931, Neptune broke off from Jacksonville over complaints that Neptune residents paid equal taxes but received a lower quality of city services.  Today, Neptune Beach is a quiet residential community that suppresses hunger for commercial development.  Many of its homes have remained with their original families for generations.  The City has the largest park at its glistening beaches, Jarboe Park, which offers residents and businesses a walking trail, tennis courts, a basketball court, volleyball courts, a lake, and a pavilion that can be reserved through the City’s Parks Department for a twenty-five dollar administrative fee.
