Solid Waste and Recycling Info

  Welcome to the City of Portsmouth's solid waste and recycling information page. Here you will find all the information you need to know about: Please use the links above or the green menu on the left side of the page to find out more about the services we offer.

  The City has a Solid Waste Ordinance that establishes guidelines for trash pickup and disposal. The Department of Public Works' Solid Waste Group is responsible for waste collection/disposal from both private / commercial residences / establishments that fall within established criteria. Our objectives are to:
  • Provide the City with a means of collecting and disposing of solid waste curbside, including recycling and bulky waste in the most efficient and cost effective manner.

  • Dispose of waste at minimal cost and within industry guidelines.

  • Ensure waste management practices are in compliance with local, state and federal regulations.

  • Keep the City's Streets, sidewalks and Central Business District free of all debris and litter.

  • Maintain all City owned trees, shrubbery and beautification sites.

  • Provide the City with curbside collection and proper disposal methods for yard waste materials.
