From what I know, dangling commits are part of the git workflow if one rewrites history. If you push A -> B -> C, then reset --hard to B, then push, C will be dangling on the remote and will not be cleaned until git gc is automatically run on the remote, controlled by the gc.auto config variable (on by default).
