Friday Pickup

Curbside Trash & Recycling
Trash in one tote, recycling in the other, in the sizes that fit your household. Both are collected from the curb on your pickup day.

Bulk Items

Mattresses, furniture, appliances, TVs and tires cannot go in your tote, but we pick them up by appointment at a flat price per item.

Bulk Prices

Yard Waste

$7 per brown bag. Hanover's brush pile needs its own permit and closes for the winter. We come whenever you call.

Doing it yourself

Why Choose Us?

Plenty of Hanover households take their own trash to the transfer station instead, and for some of them that is the right call. Here is the honest comparison.

$355
permit for the year, before you throw anything away

A full-access Hanover permit is $355 for FY27, or $320 if you are 65 or over. An extra household sticker is $40. That is the cost of being allowed through the gate.

$60
for one mattress, and it doubled this year

Hanover charges $60 a mattress or box spring, up from $30 last year. A sleep sofa is $75 and a refrigerator $30. Those are the town's own FY27 rates.

52
trips, on their hours

Plus the weekly run, and only while the gate is open: Friday to Monday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed Tuesday through Thursday. Roughly 26 hours a year of your time, unpaid.

What we do instead

Every Friday, from your curb, for $30 a month flat. No permit, no gate hours, no borrowed truck. Bulky items are a phone call and a price we tell you before we come.
