Full Breakdown

16 separately lets the Mayor or designee issue additional recycling regulations as needed to provide for the most safe and efficient means of removal. In practice, a resident whose route falls on or after one of the six listed holidays should confirm that week's adjusted pickup day through the Township rather than assume an automatic one-day slide, because the text itself stops at naming the closed days and leaves the shift to administrative notice. 5(d).

Violations & Fines

There is no separate holiday-specific penalty. A resident who sets carts out despite a listed holiday closure, or otherwise violates cart placement timing under Section 19-2.5, is subject to the general Chapter 19 enforcement in Section 19-2.20 (education, warning or summons by the Department of Public Works) and the Township-wide default fine of up to $2,000 under Section 1-5.1.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Cherry Hill Township collect trash on Thanksgiving or Christmas?
No. Section 19-2.5(a) lists Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, along with New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day, as days with no residential collection.
Does my Cherry Hill pickup day automatically shift after a holiday?
The ordinance does not spell out an automatic make-up day; it only names the closed dates. Confirm that week's adjusted schedule through the Township, which sets and alters the calendar under Section 19-2.5.
Are recycling and yard waste pickups also suspended on these holidays?
Yes. Section 19-2.5 applies the same holiday closures to both the solid waste and recyclables streams, since both are collected under the same weekly Township contract.
