News & Announcements NEW - Recycle Anything with a Power Cord! 03-07-2012 Henniker Transfer Station announces new Recycling Program entitled “Anything with a power cord”. Now any item that has a power cord may be recycled -- small appliances, electronics, fans, lamps, etc. Please be aware that items that require a disposal fee will still require that fee i.e. TV’s, Monitors, Microwaves and all freon containing items. Please deposit any of these corded items by the garage door on the end on the recycling building, give them to an attendant or leave them outside the hopper. Thank you for your participation in this new program. Where can I get rid of leaves and grass clippings? The Transfer Station does not currently have a composting program. Also, it is against N.H. Dept. of Environmental Services rules to landfill or burn leaves at this location so we are providing the following information: Leaves, grass clippings, pine needles and garden wastes may be deposited at Stone Falls Garden Center just off Old Concord Road (just east of the access to Route 9/202 by Old West Hopkinton Road). Material may be dropped off any time of day, 7 days a week. PLEASE! No sticks, rocks, garbage, boxes or bags of any type. Thank you. *** * * * * * * * U.S. Flags: We collect worn out U.S. flags for proper disposal. The proper disposal technique for flags is to respectfully burn them.
