Recycling in West Lebanon: A Local Guide
West Lebanon, in Grafton County, New Hampshire, is home to two City of Lebanon recycling and solid-waste facilities that share the same address at 370 North Plainfield Road (Route 12-A). Together they offer one of the most comprehensive municipal drop-off programs in the Upper Valley, accepting everything from cardboard and plastics to electronics, tires, food scraps, and textiles. An annual Solid Waste Permit is required to use either facility.
Lebanon Solid Waste Facility is the full-service permitted facility that handles both trash and recyclables for Lebanon residents and residents of more than two dozen authorized NH and VT communities. It accepts plastics #1–7, cardboard, paper, aluminum and steel cans, plastic film and bags, scrap metal, textiles, yard waste, food scraps, motor oil, antifreeze, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, tires ($10/tire), mattresses ($37.50), electronics (monitors/TVs $22.50), and freon-containing appliances. Open Monday–Friday 7:30 AM–3:30 PM and Saturday 8:30 AM–2:00 PM. Note: beginning December 1, 2026, glass will no longer be accepted for recycling and must go in the regular trash.
Lebanon Recycling Center occupies the same 370 Plainfield Road campus and provides the recycling-focused drop-off stream with the same hours and permit requirement. Basic recyclables — cardboard, mixed paper, plastics #1–7, aluminum and steel cans, scrap metal, motor oil, antifreeze, automotive batteries, rechargeable batteries, textiles, yard waste, and food waste — are free of charge. Fee-based items include electronics, tires, mattresses, fluorescent bulbs, propane tanks, and bulky furniture. The City endorses the Betterbin app for item-by-item disposal guidance.
Both facilities require a valid annual Solid Waste Permit: Lebanon residents pay $10/year online ($15 in person by appointment); residents of authorized participating communities pay $25/year online (rising to $32.50 on January 1, 2027). Cash and checks are not accepted — credit or debit card only.
