Annual Spring Clean-Up Day - (Free Dump Day) and Spring/Fall Leaf Pickup

 Annual Spring Clean-Up Day (Free Dump Day) is  held in early May each year at the Transfer Station on Meredith Center Road. At our annual Spring Clean-Up Day/Free Dump Day people can dispose of old tires, appliances, furniture or other items of trash free of charge. Electronic waste is also accepted for a fee. Please contact Public Works at 603-528-6379 for additional information.  Please note that residents who do not have a dump sticker must have some form of documentation that shows they are a Laconia resident..

 Leaf Pickup: The Annual Spring Leaf Pickup is typically scheduled for two weeks in May, and Fall Leaf Pickup is scheduled for two weeks during October/November. Residents can leave 10 bags of leaves during each of the two weeks of these special collections on their normal trash pickup day and they will be picked up free of charge. Please note that leaves and yard waste must be placed in paper compost bags; they will be collected by a separate truck, not by the normal trash collection truck.
