Hanson is one of our steadiest routes, and after 10 years the crew knows which streets are tight and which driveways need extra boards. Hanson is where Ocean Spray got its start — the cooperative was founded here in 1930 as Cranberry Canners, Inc., and stayed headquartered in town for decades before eventually relocating to Plymouth and then Middleborough.
Hanson sits northwest, in Plymouth County. From our yard in Plymouth that is a short run, so Hanson customers get the same flat rate and the same delivery windows as anyone in Plymouth itself. There is no separate track for big jobs and small ones. A single driveway box and a running jobsite rotation both start with the same two minutes on the phone.
How a Hanson drop actually goes
Hanson's small-town, semi-rural character means most of our work here is residential driveway boxes, with the occasional roll-off for a barn or outbuilding project.
- Local dispatch. You speak to someone in Plymouth who can picture Hanson's streets, not a call center reading a script.
- Flat-rate quotes. Delivery, the rental window, the tonnage allowance and pickup in a single number.
- Standard on every drop. Boards, a walked placement and a swept spot at pickup — on every Hanson job, not just the big ones.
- Honest sizing. If a 15 yard will do the job, we will not sell you a 30.
- Licensed and insured in Massachusetts. Certificates on request for GCs, property managers and HOA boards.

Choosing a size for your Hanson project
In Hanson we book more 20 yard boxes than anything else, but the 15 is the most under-ordered size on the list. Dense debris is the one case where going smaller is not a compromise: that is a 10 yard job. Here is the full range:
| Size | Dimensions | Holds roughly | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | 14 ft × 7.5 ft × 3.5 ft | About 3 pickup-truck loads | Small cleanouts, roofing shingles, concrete and dirt, garage purge |
| 15 Yard | 16 ft × 7.5 ft × 4.5 ft | About 4–5 pickup-truck loads | Kitchen or bath remodel, flooring projects, roofing tear-off, yard work |
| 20 Yard | 22 ft × 7.5 ft × 4.5 ft | About 6 pickup-truck loads | Whole-house cleanout, larger remodel, roofing up to about 50 squares, landscaping |
| 30 Yard | 22 ft × 7.5 ft × 6 ft | About 9 pickup-truck loads | Whole-house projects, commercial cleanouts, new-build construction |
| 40 Yard | 22 ft × 7.5 ft × 8 ft | About 12 pickup-truck loads | Major demolition, large construction sites, commercial fit-outs |
The sizing guide has the worked examples. The phone has a person on the other end: (774) 426-7408.
Permits, placement and local rules in Hanson
If it fits on your drive, the Hanson municipal side of this is usually a non-issue. If it has to go at the curb, start the conversation with the town early rather than the day before delivery. There is no county waste authority here to appeal to — in Massachusetts this is town business, so Hanson's DPW is the right first call. Above that sits state law, set out at RecyclingWorks Massachusetts and MassDEP. For the detail, read the permit guide alongside our breakdown of Massachusetts disposal bans.

FAQs
Dumpster rental in Hanson — your questions
Can you get a dumpster to Hanson?
Yes, Hanson is a regular stop for us northwest of Plymouth, and we deliver to both the town center and the more rural stretches toward Halifax. Call ahead and we'll get you scheduled, usually same-day if you call before noon.
How quickly can you deliver a dumpster in Hanson?
Our yard is on Collins Ave in Plymouth, roughly 25 minutes from Hanson, so most orders placed before noon on a weekday go out the same day. Anything booked a day ahead we can usually schedule to a morning or afternoon window that suits you. Call (774) 426-7408 and we will tell you honestly what is achievable today rather than promising a slot we cannot hold. See our same-day dumpster service for how it works.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Hanson?
If the container sits entirely on your own driveway or private property, you generally will not need a town permit — that covers the large majority of our Hanson deliveries. Permitting in Massachusetts sits with the town rather than the county — Plymouth County itself has no waste or permitting role — so check with Hanson's own Department of Public Works. For reference, Plymouth handles its own equivalent through Town of Plymouth — Street Opening Permits. If the box has to sit on a public street or in the right-of-way, ask that same office what they require, confirm the current process with them directly, and allow lead time rather than expecting same-day approval. Our Plymouth-area permit guide walks through the general process.
What can I put in a dumpster in Hanson?
General household junk, furniture, construction and demolition debris, roofing, flooring, drywall and clean wood are all fine. What is barred is a legal question rather than a company policy: Massachusetts runs a statewide list of waste disposal bans, and paint, fuel and oil, chemicals and solvents, lead-acid batteries, tires, medical waste and appliances still holding refrigerant all have to stay out of an ordinary landfill load. Televisions, monitors and other electronics have been banned from disposal in this state since 2000 and need a certified recycler or a local collection event — MassDEP has the current list. Asbestos never goes in a container. Our Massachusetts disposal guide covers it in full.
Will the dumpster damage my driveway in Hanson?
Not if it is placed properly. Boards go under the rails and rollers on every delivery, which spreads the load rather than concentrating it on four points. Coastal New England winters are hard on asphalt, and older drives around Hanson are often more uneven than they look, so we take the placement slowly rather than backing straight in. We walk the placement with you before the box comes off the truck. See how we handle placement and surface protection on soft and sandy ground.
Do you deliver to Hanson after a storm?
Yes — storm cleanup is a steady part of our work across the Plymouth area, and Hanson is no exception. Nor'easters bring down limbs, strip shingles and fill gutters, and all of that has to go somewhere. What we need is a reasonably clear, level spot for the container and safe truck access; downed limbs or debris blocking the driveway can slow a delivery, so let us know if the approach needs clearing first. Full detail in our storm cleanup dumpster guide.
