Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.

A small convenience center in Hanson for residential drop-offs. Locals use it for quick trips when a regular trash pickup won't handle yard debris or extra bags. It’s the kind of place people swing by between errands rather than make a special trip for.
The site is compact and set off Eastlawn Road, so expect a few lanes and several drop-off containers rather than a large transfer station. Vehicles pull up to the containers to unload; some bays may be raised for easy dumping while others sit at ground level. The center can be staffed or unstaffed at times, so be prepared to self-sort materials into the proper containers. Weekends and spring cleanup will usually be busier, so lines can form during those times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring gloves and a tarp or straps for loose loads - it’s easier to handle branches and bags at the containers than in the truck bed.
- Have everything separated before pulling in so unloading goes quickly; put recyclables, trash, and yard waste in different piles if possible.
- Go during a weekday morning if possible to avoid weekend backups; even at small centers a single slow vehicle can hold up the line.
