Public Works

The Public Works office is located at 347 Daniel Webster Highway, and the lobby is open to the public.

The Meredith Public Works Department consists of four divisions:

Highway

The highway division is responsible for road maintenance, paving, chip seal, drainage, brush cutting, road reconstruction, grading and ditching, catch basins, sweeping, sidewalk maintenance, plowing and sanding, road dust proofing, culvert pipe installation, and road and public safety signage. Our mechanics maintain, repair, and service all town vehicles.

Our office issues driveway permits, solid waste decal permits, road opening permits, trench permits, handles facility use and Hesky Park sign permits, maintains all vehicle maintenance records and compliance for all of our divisions. Please call 603-279-6352 to contact.

Solid Waste

The solid waste division operates a complete recycling center and transfer station for residents of the towns of Meredith and Center Harbor. There is a recycling store where people can bring in good used items that are sold at a nominal cost. We operate a glass crushing machine that was funded in part through a grant from New Hampshire the Beautiful. The crushed glass is used for road beds, which not only serves to recycle the glass but also saves on gravel costs for the town.

The Solid Waste Facility is open every day except Wednesday and holidays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Please call 603-279-8480 to contact.

Buildings & Grounds

The buildings and grounds division is responsible for all the interior and exterior maintenance of town buildings and grounds, including waterfront parks and docks. They take care of trash removal, routine maintenance and repairs, emergency repairs, shoveling, mowing, sweeping of town grounds, sidewalks and parking lots, and issue facility use permits for use of town parks and properties for events. Please call 603-279-6352 to contact.

Cemetery

The cemetery division maintains the Meredith Village Cemetery on Route 3 as well as Lang Street Cemetery and small outlying cemeteries. Our personnel handles burials, perform year-round maintenance of stones, monuments and grounds, keep all cemetery records, and sell cemetery plots. Please call 603-279-6352 to contact.

Please note, the Oakland Cemetery in Meredith Center is privately owned and maintained.
