  • Empty and rinse containers; leave caps on bottles.
  • Never bag your recyclables — loose is better unless told otherwise.

Where can I recycle plastic in New Hampshire?

Is there a fee to drop off plastic?

Some sites accept it free; others charge a per-item or per-pound fee because of processing or disposal costs. Fees change, so confirm with the facility before your visit.

Can I put plastic in my curbside bin?
