Local services and rules

Moving to Exeter: who to call and what the city asks.

Exeter is a town in Rockingham County, New Hampshire. Curbside trash goes out in the town blue bags, placed at the curb by 7:00 AM on the pick-up day. A winter parking ban runs each year from December 1 to March 15, with parking prohibited on town rights-of-way and streets between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.

Municipal lots and snow emergency bans

Municipal lots have no time limits on parking. Each municipal lot has designated areas for overnight parking.

Vehicles parked in violation of the winter ban may be ticketed or towed at the owner expense. During a severe snowstorm the Public Works Director, with concurrence from the Chief of Police, may enact a snow emergency parking ban.
