What Exeter won't take

Couches, mattresses and other bulky items aren't accepted at the station; if you use blue-bag curbside pickup, one bulky item a week goes at the curb with a $5 bulk sticker. Tires go to tire dealers or the Raymond Transfer Station, which accepts them for a fee. Hazardous waste, antifreeze and other auto chemicals go to the October household hazardous waste day.

For big loads, the town suggests the Raymond Transfer Station, (603) 895-6273, which takes non-residents and charges by weight.
