Dump or dumpster: which is cheaper in Hanover?
For a pickup load or two, hauling it yourself usually wins. Once a cleanout or remodel runs to several loads, a dumpster can cost less than your time, fuel and repeated gate fees.

- Official local rate: Household trash and bulky items are free for residents; bring ID or vehicle registration.
- You need a truck or trailer, a way to cover and secure the load, and time for each round trip
