The people who work here are very helpful. You drive around and thru to drop off household trash. If you have cardboard boxes, they will help you unload and put them into the compactor.

Three different occasions I have checked the website and it says they are open- yet when I show up they are closed. I have tried to call there to make sure they are open and I get a recording saying the mailbox has not been set up. Either update the site with correct hours OR have someone answer the phone. I should not have to drive there to find out if they decide to be open or not. Do better…. This is NOT acceptable.
