Benjamin T Nickerson Inc

Benjamin T Nickerson Inc runs the trash cans, recycling bins, and roll-off dumpsters for households and job sites across Chatham, Harwich, and Orleans. The Nickerson family says it's been hauling on the Cape for close to 50 years, though a Better Business Bureau record puts the company's official start at 1991, about 35 years back — still a long-running, family-operated shop with four employees, currently listed under owner Pam Nickerson. Reviewers who use the weekly pickup service describe it as dependable. One customer praised how the company handled a rush request, showing up "that day or the next morning" when more room was needed in the dumpster. Another, in a 2022 review, called the experience from the first phone call through the container's removal flawless, singling out a staff member by name. On Google the company holds 4.3 stars from 12 ratings, and reviewers who mention the drivers describe them as well-mannered and professional. Not every account is glowing. In a 2023 review, a customer described a curt phone exchange with a customer-service representative after a missed pickup, followed by an unfriendly reply once they canceled by email. It's a single account, but worth asking about if you're particular about how issues get handled on the phone. The company isn't BBB-accredited and carries a BBB rating of "Not Rated," which BBB attributes to insufficient information rather than any complaint history. For routine residential or commercial trash and recycling service, or a roll-off container for a cleanout or construction job on the Chatham/Harwich/Orleans stretch of the Cape, this is a small, long-running local operation. Confirm current pricing and scheduling directly, since neither is spelled out in what's publicly reviewable.
