NH Recycles names new executive director

After seven years as executive director, Reagan Bissonnette will be stepping down from her role. The board of trustees has selected Andrea Folsom as the organization’s next executive director, effective May 18, 2026. Folsom has served as NH Recycles’ education & grants manager since 2021. Reagan is leaving to start a nonprofit consulting and coaching business.

This transition reflects a thoughtful, planned process and positions NH Recycles to continue its work supporting municipalities, operators and communities.

Folsom has been a key contributor to many of NH Recycles’ successes over the past five years. As a member of the leadership team, she has helped guide day-to-day operations and strategic initiatives. She has led a communications rebrand, co-authored numerous successful federal grant applications and expanded educational resources.
