  • No Commercial Waste – that means no hazardous waste that came from a business. This is federal law and violations would stop the program.

  • Residents will be eligible to bring in no more than 5 gallons (or 40 pounds) per collection day. If you have specific circumstances that require dropping off more than five gallons, please call the Town Administrator at 523-4501 ext. 5.

  • Keep the hazardous waste in the ORIGINAL CONTAINER if at all possible.

  • You will need to sign in that day. If you are a voter or have a residence in Canaan or Orange as shown on the tax cards, you will be eligible. If you are a renter, please bring some proof that you are renting and/or living in Canaan or Orange.

  • All hazardous waste will be properly disposed of or recycled.

More on Large Trash

Colin Higbie asked whether old electronics can be disposed on the large trash days this Saturday and Sunday. Selectboard Secretary Cathrine Souza confirmed that that transfer station will take them. But “you’ll need to ask about the fees depending on the item,” she says. Most big items (TVs, computers, monitors) bear a charge of $15.

If you have any questions, you can call Station Manager J.R. Defosse at 603-523-7952. And check out the transfer station page on the Canaan town website, here.

Town of Orange: Status on road grading

May 25, 2023

From  Marcello Shelzi, Road Agent

Many residents have been inquiring about road grading. Road grading of Orange's dirt roads is currently scheduled through our contractor to begin at the end of May. The town does not have its own grader or other heavy equipment so your understanding throughout this year's particularly bad mud season has been much appreciated. Thank you for your questions and concerns.
