Wilmot’s Transfer Station is located on Route 11 and is operated by two Transfer Station employees per shift, under the direction of the Road Agent.  The Wilmot Transfer Station is available to Wilmot residents only.  Every resident’s vehicle should have a current Transfer Station sticker clearly visible to the attendants (driver’s side rear, if possible).  Stickers are available from the Town Clerk’s Office or the Selectmen’s Office.

To reduce disposal costs, the Selectmen encourage everyone to reduce the amount of waste they produce by composting your food scraps and recycling as much as possible. The Town pays per pound to dispose of waste and this is paid for by tax dollars.  Lower your taxes by practicing the three R’s:

• Reduce
• Reuse
• Recycle

NH Rechargeable Battery Disposal Ban

Starting July 1, 2025, it will be illegal to put rechargeable lithium-ion batteries in the trash. As of July 1, they must be recycled through special battery collection programs, not mixed with regular recyclables.

Per RSA 149-M:27, lithium-ion batteries will be prohibited from disposal in New Hampshire’s landfills and incinerators to help reduce the risk of fires at solid waste facilities. The ban applies to everyone; residents and businesses.

Where can lithium-ion batteries be recycled?

Many municipal transfer stations and businesses offer collection boxes for recycling rechargeable batteries. For example:

• Staples
• Best Buy
• Home Depot
• BatteriesPlus 

To find the nearest drop-off site, please check Call2Recycle.org.

Recycling Guidelines

As of January 2025: There has been no recycling of plastic for over a year because there was no market for mixed plastics and metals. The town is researching ways of reinstituting recycling, which may include more separation and permanent shelters for recycled materials. Stay tuned.

Recycling of glass has continued and aluminum cans are now accepted. Other metal cans may be deposited at a bin near the scrap metal pile.
