(603) 664-2446A small-town recycling center used mainly by Barrington residents for getting rid of recyclables and diverting stuff from the landfill. Town permit rules are common in New Hampshire, so this place sees regular residential traffic and seasonal surges. People drop off sorted materials and larger household items that won’t fit in curbside bins.
Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be prepared to show a permit or proof of residency; most New Hampshire transfer stations have that setup. There’s typically a scale nearby and then a series of recycling bays or roll-off containers for paper, cardboard, glass, metals, plastics and the like, plus space for yard waste and bulky items. Pull-up lanes can get tight when trucks are present, and weekends-especially during spring cleanup-often have lines. Vehicles are generally asked to separate loads before getting out of the car so traffic keeps moving.
