35-45 minute wait. Also, they will take your gas can which is not cheap. You have to get back in line again to get it or after 1/2 hour wait. Other than that they took other chemicals.

I tried to bring them some waste acid from some metal refining I did at home. It says on their website they take corrosives and oxidizers. Now I don't know what to do with this waste
