Recycling in Milford: A Local Guide
Milford, a town in Hillsborough County in southern New Hampshire, has two recycling-related facilities listed for the area. They serve very different purposes: one is a full municipal transfer station open to town residents, and the other is a private junk-removal service that comes to you.
The Milford Recycling & Transfer Station, at 76 North River Road, is operated by the Town of Milford and is open to Milford residents who hold a free residential permit (obtainable by calling 603-673-8939 or at the scale house). Hours are Tuesday 8 AM–8 PM, Wednesday 8 AM–noon, Thursday 11 AM–8 PM, Friday 8 AM–noon, and Saturday 8 AM–4 PM; closed Monday and Sunday. The station accepts single-stream recyclables (paper, cardboard, glass, plastics, metals), scrap metal, yard waste, food scraps, and woody brush under 5 inches — which is chipped on site, with free finished compost and wood chips available to residents. The Still Good Shed reuse area lets residents swap gently used household items at no cost. Fee-based items include electronics, tires, mattresses, automotive batteries, propane cylinders, Freon appliances, and bulky construction waste. Household hazardous waste is not accepted on regular days but is collected at periodic regional HHW events.
Junk Truck NH, at 307 Elm St Unit C, is a for-hire junk removal and party rental company — not a public drop-off facility. Customers schedule a pickup and the crew comes to their location. There is no walk-in facility where residents can bring items. Call or text (603) 494-5877 or email junktrucknh@gmail.com for a quote.
