For the Compost, Garbage and Recycling schedule please refer to the link below.
Residents are reminded to keep their garbage and compost carts off sidewalks and street right-of-ways so as to not impede snow removal efforts.
The Town of Hampton provides regular residential large item garbage pick-up, including: appliances, furniture and other oversized household goods acceptable to the Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission. Please be advised that refrigerators and/or freezers must have the Freon removed by a licensed technician, who will sticker the item, prior to the item being placed on the Town’s pick-up list. You must pre-register for this service by calling the Town Office at 832-6065. Items should only be placed curbside no earlier than the evening before the scheduled pick-up so as to not impede snow removal efforts and to avoid the items from becoming water-logged. Please note that households are limited to placing out five large items per month with this service.This service is not for construction & demolition debris, household hazardous waste or residential garbage (bags or boxes) that exceeds the amount permitted by your biweekly garbage pick-up. For more information or to register, please call the Town Office at 832-6065.
Town of Hampton provides residential garbage and compost collection for the municipality. The Town aims to provide innovative waste management services to our residents in an efficient, effective and courteous manner creating environmental sustainability, promoting diversion and maintaining a clean town.
All residences have received a large roadside garbage bin. Continue to use the existing compost bin for your compost. Routes and Collection days are subject to change from the current set-up. All waste must be curbside by 7am, as no street will be revisited.
It is important to note:
- All garbage must be bagged before placing it in your bin
- Only garbage INSIDE the bin will be collected
- Ensure that the handle and wheels of the garbage cart are facing the road when placed curbside on collection day
- Regularly composting and recycling will greatly reduce the amount of garbage from your household

- Civic addresses must be posted to receive any municipal service
