Portsmouth Transfer Station Sticker Program - Sale of Stickers and Saturday Hours for Sticker Sales

The Town of Portsmouth announces that the sale of 2017 Transfer Station stickers for residents of Portsmouth will begin on January 3, 2017.

Stickers will be available for sale at the Tax Collector’s office at Portsmouth Town Hall during normal business hours, Monday through Wednesday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Thursday 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and Friday 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. For your convenience, the Tax Collector’s office will be open for sticker sales only on Saturday, February 4 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Last year’s Transfer Station sticker will get you entry into the Transfer Station until the end of January 2017.

Transfer Station stickers cost $160 for the first vehicle and $10 for one additional vehicle per household. To obtain a sticker, you must bring a copy of your valid registration showing you are registered in Portsmouth for each vehicle for which you are requesting a sticker. Residents with leased vehicles must provide proof of automobile insurance showing their Portsmouth address at which they reside.

The Transfer Station is for the disposal of residential household waste only. No waste from businesses, contractors, landscapers, or any form of commercial or agricultural activity is accepted. Recycling is mandated by state law.
