In Livingston, all township non-emergency offices were closed on Monday.

Livingston officials previously offered the following advisories about garbage and recycling:

Recycling - "Recycling will not be picked up on Monday, February 1. All recycling will be picked up one day after the scheduled day for the rest of the week."

Garbage - "The township's garbage collection vendor does plan to make as many pickups as is possible on Monday. If they are unable to complete regular Monday pickups in your area, please leave your garbage at the curb, as they will complete pickups on Tuesday."

A change was later made to garbage pickup, Livingston officials reported.

"Garbage collection vendor RTS has advised us that they will NOT be picking up garbage on Monday, February 1," officials said in an update. "Residents with Monday/Thursday garbage collection will instead be picked up on the next regularly scheduled day, which is Thursday, February 4. RTS apologizes for any inconvenience."
