Ms. Hyland
That’s what | advise people simply because | don’t want the drivers to have to worry about whether or not it is
latex or oil based paint or stains or thinners which are hazardous. At the collection events we take oil based
paints, stains, thinners, and anything that has to do with solid waste.
Alderman Siegel
What are common things that are not accepted for those people that are watching?
Ms. Hyland
We do not accept asbestos. Nashua, however, for its own residents has an approved asbestos disposal site at
the landfill. We can take care of our residents that way. We don’t accept ammunition or flares.
Unidentified Speaker
We don't accept smoke detectors. We do not accept fire extinguishers. No medications, no sharps. Latex
paint is the biggest one for anyone listening at home.
Ms. Hyland
We don't take waste oil because all of the communities have some appropriate disposal for used motor oil. We
recycle it at the landfill. We get it recycled.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
There is a charge for cars at $10.
Unidentified Speaker
Ten dollars charge per vehicle. That covers up to 10 gallons or 20 pounds of waste. People are welcome to
bring more than that but we charge them accordingly. We also encourage people to carpool. If you and your
neighbor combine and have less than ten gallons, put it all in a single car and you will only get charged the ten
dollars. It helps the environment to carpool as well.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
All of this information is on the NRPC website.
Unidentified Speaker
It’s all on the NRPC website as well as the city’s website. Also | should add the ten dollar charge per vehicle is
payable with cash or check. We do not take credit cards.
Alderman Cookson
What’s the fee used for ultimately?
Unidentified Speaker
The fee is used to help pay for the program. The program is funded through three measures. One is a grant
from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services. The second is through municipal fees paid
by the 11 members. The third is through fees collected at the collection event.
