Nashua, NH Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

Nashua's bulk disposal options sit within the Solid Waste Department's operational framework. Three pathways: (1) Curbside oversize item pickup — the Solid Waste Department picks up the first 5 oversized items per account per year at no charge; after the 5-item annual limit, the charge is $25 per item. Accepted items include furniture, large appliances, mattresses, and brush bundles (maximum 60 pounds, branches no more than 3 inches in diameter and no longer than 4 feet, tied in a bundle). Residential tires without rims are accepted for the first 4 annually at no charge. Curbside pickup operates only from mid-April through mid-October; there is no curbside oversize service from mid-October through mid-April. Requests must be submitted by Friday afternoon for the following week's pickup, by calling 603-589-3410 or the online form. (2) Direct drop-off at Four Hills Landfill, 840 West Hollis Street, with a $5 annual residential permit. The DPW Building at Four Hills accepts electronics — computer monitors and components, printers, televisions, VCRs, DVD players — Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (3) Scheduled household hazardous waste collection events. Acceptable hazardous wastes include oil-based paints, pesticides, varnish, wood preservatives, thinners, pool chemicals, antifreeze, lithium and button batteries, and driveway sealers, with a $20 fee for up to 10 gallons or 20 pounds. Rechargeable batteries, mercury devices, cell phones, and fluorescent bulbs are accepted year-round at the Four Hills Recycling Center. PROHIBITED from curbside: electronics, C&D debris, and commercial tires. Refrigerators and freezers require refrigerant evacuation by a certified technician under federal Clean Air Act Section 608 (40 CFR Part 82) before disposal. Effective July 1, 2025, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are prohibited from disposal in New Hampshire landfills and incinerators under Env-Sw rules.
