Hampstead Residents with Curbside Pick-Up
New Limits on Curbside Residential Refuse Pick-Up
Amendments as of April 16, 2012
A thirty-gallon barrel (trash can) is the basic unit for refuse pickup. Pickup limits are typically set as a number
of barrels or the equivalent 15 gallon plastic bags.
The maximum limits for Hampstead residential refuse pickup at curbside are:

Any apartment building of more than 4 units is required to provide a dumpster(s) for sanitary handling of refuse
at the owner’s expense.
For those occasions when the limit is to be exceeded, stickers may be purchased at the town hall and displayed
on each bag over the limit allowed. The amount of recycling materials for residential pickup is not limited.
New refuse limits were approved by the Board of Selectmen as a way to increase recycling.
