Junk Removal in Nashua, NH

Nashua residents have three city-run options for bulky items. (1) FREE CURBSIDE BULK PICKUP: The Solid Waste Department picks up the first 5 oversized items per year and the first 4 off-rim tires per year at no charge; additional items are $25 each. Furniture, mattresses, and large appliances all qualify. Schedule by calling (603) 589-3410 Monday-Friday or by submitting the Oversized Item Pickup form on nashuanh.gov by Friday afternoon for the following week. As of the City of Nashua’s Oversize Item Pick-Up page (https://www.nashuanh.gov/430/Oversize-Item-Pick-Up, checked 2026-09-20), curbside oversize pickup runs “Mid-spring Through Mid-October”, and “Mid-October Through Mid-spring” there are no pickups of oversized items or tires; the city’s own request form is described as available mid-April to October, and 2026 pickups began the week of April 20. Confirm the current season at (603) 589-3410 before assuming a pickup is available. Items must be at the curb by 6:45 AM on your regular trash day. Brush bundles must weigh under 60 pounds with branches no more than 3 inches in diameter and 4 feet long. Electronics and construction & demolition debris are NOT eligible for curbside pickup and must be brought directly to Four Hills Landfill. (2) DIRECT DROP-OFF AT FOUR HILLS LANDFILL: With a $5 annual residential permit (free for 65+), residents can drop off mattresses, couches, freon appliances, large appliances, scrap metal, electronics, brush, yard waste, and C&D debris at 840 W. Hollis Street during normal hours. Bring vehicle registration. This is the only option from mid-October through mid-April. (3) EXTRA HOUSEHOLD TRASH: The weekly automated cart does NOT take overflow. Extra bags from a move, party, or cleanout must be brought to Four Hills under a $5 landfill sticker per bag. Mattresses are NOT banned from NH landfills (unlike Massachusetts) so no special mattress-only program is required.
