Before loading leftover paint or cleaners into the car, check what Saturday’s collection accepts. This Hollis hazardous waste collection guide covers the September 26, 2026 event in Nashua, from 8 a.m. to noon.
Hollis’s official calendar lists the location as 25 Crown Street. The regional organizer identifies it as the Nashua Park & Ride. Save the date and address, then check your materials before planning the trip.

Check your town and payment
First, confirm eligibility. The Nashua Regional Planning Commission lists Hollis among the participating communities. If you are sharing this reminder with someone elsewhere, ask them to check the town list. Living nearby does not automatically establish eligibility.
The fee is $20 per vehicle for up to 10 gallons of liquids or 20 pounds of solids. Larger quantities cost extra. Bring cash or a check payable to NRSWMD.

Match each material to the collection rules
Next, check each product individually. Accepted examples include oil-based paint, solvents and pesticides. However, the collection excludes latex or acrylic paint, electronics, medication and Freon appliances.
Paint type matters. A can marked latex belongs in a different disposal plan from one marked oil-based. Read the product label before deciding what to bring.
These examples are a starting point. Consult the organizer’s complete accepted and excluded lists for your specific items. If you cannot identify a product or find it on the lists, contact NRPC before loading it.

Call ahead about large containers
Containers larger than five gallons require preregistration and special handling. Call NRPC at 603-417-6570 before bringing one. This container rule is separate from the total quantity covered by the vehicle fee.
For example, do not assume that a single large container qualifies simply because its contents fall within the fee allowance. Confirm the handling arrangement first.
Recheck before leaving
Finally, revisit the official schedule before departure. Have your payment ready and resolve questions about materials or container size in advance. A short check now can help you avoid arriving with something the collection cannot take.
