2025 Transfer Station Stickers - Moultonborough

[dpg]

Unless I'm missing it I do not see any mention of 2025 dump permits on Moultonborough's website. I assume their available for purchase by now? Anyone have a good active link that'll take me to them? Please not just the transfer station link, I've been there.

ever wonder why, after forking over many thousands of dollars in property tax to the town, they still hit ya with a sticker fee? (not just a M'boro issue)

Received our 2025 to 2026 dump/beach stickers in the mail yesterday.

Went this morning and got mine. Serial numbers were still in the 50's.

A few years ago, Wolfeboro quintupled their recycling-center fee.

[Descant]

Not so many years ago, recycling was a money maker, or at least, a break even. The buyers of paper (China?) wanted cleaner paper and sorting newsprint, colored wrapping paper, packaging, etc was costly. Cardboard with oil stains from pizza was unacceptable. The list goes on. Running a recycled/transfer station isn't the cheap, or even profitable operation that it was in 1998.
Nevertheless, trash disposal for decades and decades was "free" (the government pays for it) so a $20 fee seems like a lot. On the positive side, if you have a dump sticker and a heavy foot, when you get stopped, the PD knows before asking for registration, that you are a local. Important in some towns.

Yeah you folks can complain about the fee's "up there" but their still better than me at home in Mass. Our town dump sticker is $180.00/yr (not two years like Moultonborough.) Besides the $180.00 sticker you have to buy special trash bags can't just buy any old Hefty trash bags. I shouldn't complain as I have private pickup service which is a bit more than 180.00 a year but between the sticker, buying the bags and bringing it to the facility myself I figure the tradeoff to be minimal.

The government doesn't pay for anything, tax payers do, since trash was previously covered, it's a little galling have to pay twice now.

I've heard it said that many things in the recycle stream end up in the land fill or the incinerator. If true, we should stop the charade, and start throwing that stuff in the trash.

Yeah you folks can complain about the fee's "down there" but their still better than us at home in NH.


The proposed landfill near Forest Lake State Park in Dalton is back in the crosshairs at the State House. The House passed legislation banning private ownership of any new landfill in the state, instead emphasizing a public-private model in which the government would own any new landfill property, with a private company handling operations.

The town voters must have decided to use a fee to either cover the complete cost or as a means to offset the property tax.

Some recycling does, as Descant pointed out... somethings should not go into the recycle bin, but end up there and create another cost to remove them and send them to the landfill.

There isn't much if anything cheaper in Mass than NH... Well of course I'm not comparing waterfront in Meredith to a back road home in Mass... Apples to Apples I'm paying more "down here." Taxes, Cable, Electric, yup even dump sticker! Even when I get private jobs quoted from anybody the general attitude here is "these people got it." Got a person plowing my driveway in Moultonborough $40.00 a visit. A relative living on the same street as me at home (for a smaller driveway) $85.00 a visit for this winter. I can go on and on with examples but I won't bore you...

[TomC]

this would seem to bear this out... note which state is "highest"

[phoenix]

great idea to renew online if i only knew my license plate number

[TomC]

it will be on your insurance policy docs as well as listed in your ez-pass account if you keep those records on hand. Maybe even on a pic on your phone? I presume your car is in NH?

[phoenix]

Thanks it was not on insurance and i don't have ez pass so will have to do when i get back
