Waste Management Rochester NH

All household trash must fit into the wheeled toters supplied by WM. Recycle bins will be picked up as well. Any residence may use as many recycle bins asnecessary to accommodate, paper, cans, glass, and bottles. WM does preferto have the paper separate, but the bottles, glass and cans can be co-mingled into one recycle bin. If you have any normal household garbage that is not recyclable anddoes not fit into the toters, you must buy a sticker at the tax office, $1.75 per 30 gallon bag.
