THE RECYCLING CENTER STAFF WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCING THIS POLICY.
RECYCLING / TRASH DISPOSAL POLICY
THE TOWN OF NOTTINGHAM OWNS AND OPERATES AN ACTIVE RECYCLING CENTER AT 11 FREEMAN HALL ROAD. IN ORDER TO ENSURE OPTIMAL RESULTS FROM A RECYCLING PROGRAM, THE FOLLOWING POLICY IS ENACTED. Per RSA 31:39 & RSA 149-M
- A Recycling Permit is required and shall be displayed on the lower left corner of the windshield of any vehicle used to bring recyclables or trash to the Recycling Center. Permits are available for a $1.00 fee at the Recycling Center and the Town Office.
- All Non-Recyclable Trash that is placed in the compactor must be in transparent bags, some items such as Styrofoam may be in a loose state. Recyclable materials shall not be placed in this container.
- Recycling Center Staff and Employees may inspect any or all bags or containers as deemed necessary.
- Recyclable items and materials shall include; three types of plastic containers, corrugated cardboard, aluminum cans, glass, newspaper, mixed paper, metal, automotive batteries, used motor oil, wood, electronics, fluorescent bulbs, propane tanks, tires, appliances, furniture, and carpet. (This list is not inclusive and is subject to change.)
- To help fairly distribute the cost of disposal of certain items, such as propane tanks, tires, appliances, furniture, carpet, wood and construction debris, a fee schedule is in place. Homeowners doing large projects should get a container, available through private disposal contractors.
- Anyone observed not recycling or not placing trash in the proper receptacles or bins may lose the privilege to use the Recycling Center. The length of time will be determined by the nature of the infraction after review by the Town Administrator and the Recycling Center staff.
- Trash and recyclable items from any commercial enterprises will only be considered for acceptance on a case-by-case basis after written request to the Recycling Center Supervisor and the Selectmen’s Office.
- Separate sheets / hand-outs that explain in more detail, the requirements and fees, are available at the Recycling Center, Town Office, Town Website and the Library.
