Garbage must be deposited in a closed metal or plastic container or plastic garbage bag. The only exception shall apply to nonperishable items that are too large for enclosure in such a container.
Northampton Township provides curbside pickup on Tuesday, for which containers and bulk items should be placed no earlier than 6:00 PM the night before pickup. The Township’s rules and regulations for the collection of garbage, refuse, trash cans and recyclables must be followed by all residents.
Recyclables are picked up weekly. A separate yard waste collection picks up grass clippings, leaves and garden waste from April 1 to December 15. Your pickup day for yard waste is on a separate schedule. For disposal of refrigerators, freezers or air conditioners, call Northampton Township to arrange for pickup (215-357-6800).
