Location
Esmont Road, near the intersection of US 20, Plank Road, and Coles Rolling Road // Close to the US Post Office in Keene, on an undeveloped County-owned property

Hours will be seasonally set (for example 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 pm in winter; 8:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. in summer)

- Tin and Other Metals
- Compostable Food Waste
- Special Waste including some hazardous waste and e-waste
It’s cost convenient
$2 per 32-gallon bag or container

Projected opening
If approved to proceed by the Planning Commission, it would take approximately one year to complete this project.
