Recycling in Derry: A Local Guide
Derry, a town of roughly 34,000 in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, is served by two distinct recycling facilities. The Derry Town Transfer Station on Transfer Lane handles household trash, single-stream recycling, yard waste, and scrap metal for town residents. The second site, Upcycle Solutions Inc. on Tinkham Avenue, is a commercial electronics recycler and IT asset management firm. The two facilities serve very different needs, so choosing the right one depends on what you are recycling.
Derry Town Transfer Station at 53 Transfer Lane is the municipality's primary drop-off for household waste and recyclables. It operates Tuesday through Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and is closed Sunday and Monday. Derry residents must display a valid permit sticker — $100 for the first household vehicle, $20 for each additional — to drop off household trash; recycling is mandatory. The station accepts single-stream recyclables, yard waste, scrap metal, construction and demolition debris (pay-per-disposal), and household hazardous waste. Since July 1, 2025, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are banned from household trash and must be recycled through the station's battery recycling program. Non-residents may only bring pay-to-dispose materials such as C&D debris and scrap metal.
Upcycle Solutions Inc. at 9 Tinkham Avenue specializes in electronics recycling, IT asset disposition, and data center decommissioning — it is not a traditional public drop-off center. The company serves both businesses and consumers and states it can help recycle almost any electronic device or piece of equipment, including computers, servers, data center gear, precious metals, and nonferrous metals and wire. Weekday hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; weekend visits are by appointment only. Contact Upcycle Solutions at (603) 362-3011 before visiting to confirm they can accept your materials and to arrange service.
