Debris clean up: City of Nashua - Ice Storm Brush Removal and Cleanup
To schedule a storm related brush removal from your residence please call the Park Recreation Department at 589-3370.
In order to have brush removed efficiently and safely, brush must be brought to the curbside. Not on the street pavement. Brush should be placed with the stub end pointed to the street. The brush and branches must not be more than 8 inches in diameter and no more than 6 to 8 feet long.
We will make every attempt to pick up storm related brush as weather permits. Due to the weather we cannot make any promises when the brush will be picked up but we will keep a list and do our best to pick them up when weather and time allows.
The city may perform larger pick ups when weather permits (most likely in the spring) to expedite storm related clean up.
To assist residents with the ice storm cleanup, the city’s landfill is open from Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Business Concerns: The state's Business Resource Center wants to hear from businesses with storm-related issues at 271-2591, Monday-Friday 8am - 4pm.
