Yard waste drop-off and free mulch in New Hampshire
Depending on the town, yard waste drop-off may be listed as leaf and brush drop-off or yard debris drop-off. We list 9 sites in New Hampshire (all from official sources); 9 take brush and branches. 6 of the 9 list a residency or eligibility rule on the source page, so bring ID or a utility bill. 2 are seasonal or event-only and 2 do not have a confirmed map pin yet. Coverage for New Hampshire is still thin — many towns and counties run programs we haven't listed yet, so check your city or county public works page too.
By type: 9 yard waste drop-off, 9 brush & branches.
Call ahead. Hours, fees, residency rules and accepted materials change. Call or check the official source page before you go. Every listing links to its source.
