Nashua, NH Trash & Recycling: Recycling Requirements (2026)

City ordinance § 270-39(C) fixes residential curbside recycling collection at biweekly pickup service, but leaves the specifics, accepted recyclable materials, container requirements, and the exact day per collection zone, to policies set by the Board of Public Works. Section 270-41(E) separately requires that yard waste and recyclables be kept separate from refuse and placed in separate containers for collection. Both recyclables and refuse go out in the city-issued automated collection container under §§ 270-37 and 270-38. Noncompliance is enforced by the Police, Environmental Health, or Code Enforcement Departments after notice from the Solid Waste Department, and the city can terminate a customer's collection service for willful violations.
