The Northeast Resource Recovery Association (NRRA) created a Full Cost Accounting (FCA) model and analysis for the Littleton, NH Transfer Station based on the 2023 Fiscal Year. Full Cost Accounting can help towns educate residents, make data-driven decisions and program changes, and can be used for financial planning, fee and rate setting, and vendor negotiations. The primary focus of the FCA model was the financial impact of Construction and Demolition Debris (C&D) and Bulky Waste on Littleton’s solid waste operations.

In the spring of 2022, teams of experienced solid waste operator mentors and NRRA staff launched Solid Waste Advisory Teams to provide free, hands-on technical assistance and solid waste facility evaluations for qualified New Hampshire communities. Towns participating in the SWAT Program received short and long-term recommendations to improve their solid waste planning and management.
