Frequently Asked Questions

Only household trash from Derry residents is accepted.  Under no circumstance is household trash accepted from other communities.  If you do not have a Transfer Station in your town, you will need to pay for private curbside trash pickup.  Non-Derry residents may only bring items that they pay to dispose of such as C & D, mattresses, couches, etc., or scrap metal.  

There is no fee to dispose of washer and dryers.  Please place in scrap metal pile.  

As of January 1, 2023 - we are no longer accepting leaves or grass clippings from contractors and landscapers, this is similar to the brush policy in effect since 2015.  Residents are still able to bring these items as long as they are generated from their property here in Derry.  

Yard Waste/Compost - please note: no paper, brown paper, or plastic bags are allowed in the compost pile.  Please empty your bags and place your compost in the pile.
