Town of Hanson Transfer Station

201 Franklin St, Hanson, MA 02341

(781) 293-6619

Small-town transfer station used mainly by Hanson residents for dropping off household trash and recyclables. The place is compact and practical, not fancy - locals, landscapers, and folks doing spring cleanouts all come through here. Expect a working-yard feel rather than a retail setup.

Pull in past an entrance booth where attendants may direct traffic; there’s a scale on site so vehicles often get weighed. Pull-up lanes lead to cleared bays and a large compactor area where trash gets loaded and sealed for hauling out of town. Recycling containers sit off to the side, usually easy to spot, but sorting is commonly required. Weekends and warm-weather cleanup days get busy, so there can be lines and some waiting.

Before You Go

  • Bring materials already sorted as much as possible - it speeds things up and keeps vehicles moving.
  • Have items secure in the truck or trailer; wind and potholes can shift loose loads while driving through the yard.
  • Avoid peak times like weekend mornings during spring and fall; midweek or late afternoons are often quieter.
