Merrimack has no curbside trash pickup, so residents use the town Transfer Station & Recycling Facility at 1 Fearon Road, open Tuesday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (later on Thursdays in summer).
With a decal, household trash and recycling are free, and so is up to 1,000 pounds of construction debris; that allowance drops to 750 pounds on January 1, 2027. Electronics and refrigerant appliances are $15 each.
Construction debris: free up to 1,000 lbs (750 lbs from Jan. 1, 2027); a heavier load pays $185 a ton for the whole load
Electronics (TVs, monitors, computers, microwaves): $15 each
Refrigerant appliances: $15
Tires: $5 passenger, $10 truck, $15 off-road
Propane tanks (20–30 lb): $5

The Town Council adopted new rates on September 10, 2026, taking effect January 1, 2027: besides the lower free construction-debris limit, they change commercial rates and add items to the fee list. Pay for fee items before you drop them; never leave a fee item at the Swap Shop.
Decals are replaced every January. Get yours at the Transfer Station or the Public Works office in the basement of Town Hall with a valid NH driver's license and current registration (and proof of residency if the addresses differ), and put it on the passenger side of the windshield.
Traffic is one-way: enter on Fearon Road, bear left at the fork into the recycling building, then continue to the other drop-off areas. All waste must come from Merrimack; contractors cross the scale.
