The Department of Public Works is responsible for the maintenance of approximately 82 miles of streets and highways, sidewalks, snow removal, solid waste collection, and building maintenance. The Department also maintains the vehicles and equipment for all Town departments and heads the Cemetery Division.

Solid Waste Collection

All household and commercial refuse generated in the Town is transported to the Concord Regional Solid Waste/Resource Recovery Cooperative facility located in Penacook. The Town joined the cooperative in 1985 and signed an agreement that will provide access to the facility until the year 2009. The Department provides curbside residential waste pickup and commercial property owners must make arrangements with a private hauler, licensed by the Town, to transport their waste to the CRSW/RRC facility.

Solid Waste Transfer Facility

The Town’s Solid Waste Transfer Facility is located at 8 Exchange Street, adjacent to the Department of Public Works Garage. The Facility is open to residential users on Tuesdays and Saturdays, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Users must first obtain and display a facility permit prior to using the facility.
