Garbage Collection

Guidelines for Trash Pick Up

Residential garbage is collected once per week.  For Regular service customers, trash must be completely bagged and in the trash toter. Trash will only be collected if it is in the toter.

Bag customers must use bags purchased from your municipality or the Southampton Township Office. It is not permissible to substitute any other trash bags.

For more information regarding your collection day please call your municipality or Southampton Township at (717)-532-9646 – Ext 102
