Recycling in Loudon: A Local Guide
Loudon, New Hampshire, a small town in Merrimack County best known for New Hampshire Motor Speedway, has three listed waste and recycling facilities — though only one is open to the general public. Residents should direct household recyclables and solid waste to the Loudon Town Transfer Station at 42 Dump Road, managed by town Public Works. The station is open Tuesday 8 a.m.–5 p.m., Thursday 8 a.m.–6 p.m., and Saturday 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Accepted materials include cardboard, glass bottles and jars, tin and aluminum cans, #1 and #2 plastics only, clothing, and compost. Certain items carry fees: demolition debris is $60 per cubic yard, asphalt shingles $100 per cubic yard, antifreeze $1.00 per gallon, and propane tanks up to 30 lbs are $5.00 each. Mercury switches, thermometers, and thermostats are accepted free. The facility is primarily intended for Loudon residents; call 603-783-0170 for any questions.
At 67 International Drive, two industrial environmental facilities share a campus: Clean Earth (now part of the Veolia network) and Environmental Soil Management (ESMI). Both are industrial-only operations treating petroleum-contaminated soils, coal tar materials, dredge materials, and related industrial waste streams using thermal desorption technology — a high-heat process that permanently destroys hydrocarbons rather than just moving them. ESMI has operated at this site since 1990; Clean Earth acquired the operation and is now under the Veolia umbrella. Neither facility accepts household waste, recyclables, or any public drop-offs. Industrial and environmental clients needing contaminated soil remediation can reach the site at 603-783-0228 (ESMI) or 678-822-9963 (Clean Earth). Nearby communities with public recycling options include Concord, Canterbury, Northfield, and Laconia.
