They removed my items quickly. I did wait in a line of cars around 3PM on a Tuesday for about 13 minutes. They take electronic waste too.

Went there for first time yesterday. The process was super easy and simple. Had about 10 gallons total of cooking oil to dispose. In and out in about 5 min total including wait time . They asked for content and got the containers out of my car. I didn't have to do a thing. Still got out to make sure nothing spills in trunk. Tips - Go to Gate 6 and Call ahead to ask specific questions. I called the office to confirm info I read on the website. Person was helpful with directions, type of waste, and quantity allowed.

Went there, didn't even get out of my car, told them I've got some automotive fluids, they took them out of my car and said have a nice day. From pulling in the driveway to leaving I was there less than 2 minutes. Super simple.
