Person working at the front desk was friendly and helpful. I had a bunch of cardboard to drop off after moving and discovered it was free to drop off cardboard. They ask that you flatten out boxes as much as possible but that's it!

Easy just drove up on the left scale waited for the green light, unloaded, drove back non the scale and stopped at the office to get paid. In and out in less then 10 minutes. Helpful and friendly .

They had the gate open and a bit of DIY drop-off for Electronics, which is good, but I was directed there by the Goodwill, on a Sunday afternoon to recycle a couch that was too "Well loved" to be accepted there. There were people operating machines but nobody came down to the front doors. The office had a sign for the office hours. If you're going to have a drop off area, and leave the larger area open you should give more clear information about what you are open for, otherwise just close the gate and post your hours like other business. We tried getting people's attention for twenty minutes and then left.

I was told yes but they have to be cut & quartered with no windows, firewall or dash (or at least they can't be recognizable so if you cut it into smaller pieces they accept it) and no tires, as well as any parts that would contain vehicle fluids must be punctured and dry.
