Public Works Transfer Station

Small county transfer station in Hanover where residents drop off household trash and smaller loads that get compacted and hauled out to a landfill. Locals use it when hauling from home is easier than the longer drive to a distant dump. It’s the kind of place that looks busy on weekend mornings and quieter midweek.

Drive up to a clearly marked entrance with a booth and a short line of cars or pickups on busier days. Vehicles usually pull forward to a scale or weigh point and then are directed to an unloading area; staff nearby will indicate where to dump. The site is mostly gravel and pavement with large roll-off containers and compacting equipment visible - expect to see trucks coming and going. Recycling or drop-off containers are often grouped off to one side, and traffic flow encourages a quick in-and-out once it’s your turn.
