Summary
Nashua's code hands bulky waste and metal item disposal to the Board of Public Works rather than spelling out pickup rules itself. Section 270-10(D) makes Board policy the binding standard for how these items get collected.
The collection and disposal of materials such as bulky waste and metal items shall be handled according to the policies as outlined by the Board of Public Works.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: rev 4805762; v29 updated 2026-02-10; through 02-10-2026).
Full Breakdown
Under § 270-10(D), "the collection and disposal of materials such as bulky waste and metal items shall be handled according to the policies as outlined by the Board of Public Works." The ordinance sets no container size, schedule, or item list of its own for bulk items: it delegates that entirely to the Board. Residents need to check current Board of Public Works policy, not the code text, for accepted items and pickup procedures. Violations of any rule the Board issues under this authority are enforceable under § 270-18.
Violations & Fines
Violating any Board of Public Works rule issued under this article is punished as provided in § 1-12 of the City Code, plus costs of prosecution for each offense, per § 270-18.
