- TRASH COLLECTION
If your trash collection day falls on a holiday, your trash will be picked up the next working day.
- If your trash is normally picked up on a Monday and it is a holiday, it will be picked up on Tuesday along with Tuesday's normal trash collection.
- If your trash is normally picked up on a Friday and it is a holiday, it will be picked up on Monday along with Monday's normal trash collection.
- Public Works does not work on Election Day in November. Therefore, trash that is normally collected that Tuesday will be collected on Wednesday along with Wednesday's normal trash collection.
- Public works does work the day after Thanksgiving (even though other Township offices are closed). Therefore, trash that is normally collected on Thursday will be collected on Friday along with Friday's normal trash collection.
- Please note that New Year's Day, Veteran's Day and Christmas are celebrated on the date they actually fall on, which might differ from Monday or Friday, so the general rule applies: collection is the next working day along with that day's normal collection.

- EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
The Southampton Township Office of Emergency Management is responsible for maintaining and enforcing the New Jersey State Disaster Laws. The state law requires every municipality to have a state approved Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and to appoint a Coordinator. The local emergency management coordinators, along with members of public safety organizations, volunteer and private entities, such as the Red Cross, know their responsibilities and how they are expected to conduct their job. The Office of Emergency Management is charged with coordinating the efforts of these agencies and organizations during a disaster or natural emergency. Some of the events in which the Office of Emergency Management takes a leadership role are Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Flash Floods, Thunderstorms, Forest Fires, Winter Storms, Hazardous Waste spills, and overall Disaster Preparedness. They also are involved in coordination with the Office of Homeland Security.
