How to get rid of appliances in New Hampshire

Town transfer stations often take washers, dryers, and stoves as scrap metal, while Freon appliances (refrigerators, A/C, dehumidifiers) usually carry a separate fee.

Facts checked against official state and town sources on 2026-11-05.

Statewide context

Confirm Freon handling and whether doors must be removed. Some towns ban refrigerant units at the resident drop-off and point you to a hauler.

Related: lithium-ion batteries are banned from NH landfill disposal as of July 1, 2025 and must be recycled separately (RSA 149-M:27 context cited on multiple municipal pages).
