If you are on your way for work or to shop in Littleton, Woodsville, Wells River, etc., there are other area operations that accept our recyclables.    Combining trips means you’re not going out of your way, so there is minimal cost involved.    And remember, reducing trash saves the town tax dollars.    “Dam” or no Dam, we all still pay for part of our trash pick-up in our taxes!       

Littleton operates a recycling center at Mount Eustis Rd, Littleton.   Their hours are:  

Tuesday & Thursday                 Noon – 4 pm  
Wednesday                              Noon – 6 pm
