Hanover Transfer Station

A straightforward town transfer station in Hanover where residents drop off household trash and recyclables. Neighbors use it when hauling a bigger load feels easier than driving out to a distant landfill. The place looks like a municipal yard - practical, a bit noisy, and definitely not fancy.

Drive up a lane to a small entrance booth and be prepared to stop; there’s a scale and traffic flow that sends you in and then back out. Pull-up bays and roll-off containers sit on a paved pad, with recycling containers off to one side and compactors or big bins for other materials. Trucks come and go hauling everything out, so expect some diesel smell and the occasional backup of vehicles, especially on weekend mornings. Staff are present at the front gate area to direct vehicles, but have materials separated as Massachusetts has strict recycling rules and many items must be sorted or banned.
