What a response so far! We have every letter covered and… drum roll, please… over 125 submissions from 54 people. Thank you, Nashua!

The deadline for text submissions is today. If you’re new to this project, Symphony NH is engaging in a new, exciting venture: N is for Nashua. This will be a children’s alphabet book aimed at bringing Nashua’s community, culture, and arts together. Each letter will be represented by an interesting or unique fact about Nashua and then paired with a piece of original art by a local artist. We’re hoping to put the book together by the fall and launch it as part of the holiday season in November. Let’s have a great last-minute push for letters!

What’s next in this project? Once the final text for each letter is chosen, we’ll reach out to the artist community for art submissions to accompany the letters; we plan to make this announcement no later than June 1st. There is no restriction on age, ability, or medium. Come one, come all!

Here’s how you can help: Spread the word! You can read all about the project by clicking this LINK.

The Division of Public Works, Solid Waste Department will begin the special seasonal curbside collections of Soft Yard Wastes and oversized items starting the week of April 15.

The weekly pickup of leaves, grass clippings and pine needles will take place on the same day as trash.  Soft yard wastes must be put into either paper compost bags or 32-gallon barrels.  Barrels and bags must be at curbside by 6:45 am on trash collection day, and must be separated from the trash carts by at least 3 feet, or placed on the other side of the driveway.  Plastic bags may NOT be used for Soft Yard Wastes; leaves, grass clippings & pine needles may NEVER be disposed of in the trash.  Please note that brush is picked up on an appointment basis and may not be mixed with Soft Yard Wastes.

Residents whose trash is picked up by the Department may call in requests to the Solid Waste Department office starting on Monday April 8 for up to five oversized items each year at no charge.  Additional items would cost $25 each.  Examples of oversized items are a mattress, large appliance, couch, or a bundle of brush.  Residents must call 589-3410 by Friday at 4 pm, in order to get onto the following week’s pickup list.  Brush must be bundled and tied, and the weight of a bundle may not exceed 60 pounds.  Each branch must be less than 4 feet long and less than 3 inches in diameter.

Nashua residents may always bring Soft Yard Wastes or oversized items directly to the Nashua Recycling Center at the Four Hills Landfill, 840 West Hollis Street, during normal operating hours, 8 am to 4 pm Monday through Friday and 8 am to 1 pm on Saturdays.  A valid residential permit is required to use the facility.
