Extra Garbage
Your monthly rate does not cover the collection of garbage that does not fit easily in your tote when the lid is closed. If you need extra garbage bags, they can be purchased at your local municipality office or Southampton Township Trash Office located at 200 Airport Road, Shippensburg, PA 17257, and you must call Southampton Township one day prior to pick-up and inform them you will have additional blue bags out for pick-up.
