Too Much Stuff

Jun 3, 2022

What a great place! It's very convenient, you just drive up, pop your trunk and they take away your old paint, anti-freeze, etc.

What an asset to our community where you can dispose of old household chemicals and not hurt the environment with it ending up in our landfill! Be aware that you do need to have it placed in your trunk. Person in front of me had their chemical’s in tote’s and was told to drive around and they would bring them out to them when they were unloaded. I just had mine in the trunk on an old blanket and when they finished unloading, I was good to go. Crew was courteous and kind, which was a plus to the experience of doing something right for our environment! Building was clean and as I drove around it, a wild turkey was strutting around! Would recommend using this alternative for disposing of chemical’s, which is easily accessible from 120th street.

After cleaning out the garage I had some items that should not and could not go to the local dump or into the city trash. What a wonderful service this is for community and environment. Well organized, clear signs up. Polite, concise and done

The task of ridding our home of unwanted paint and other items needed to be done! The process of setting up the appointment and dropping of the items at Under the Sink was painfree. The people representing Under the Sink were personable, efficient and professional. i appreciate the positive attitude they had on the phone and in person. Thank you for a great experience!

Does Under the Sink by any chance recycle motor oil? If so, for how much?

anonymous1994 Anderson | Aug 22, 2018
Jeff Vickers | Aug 22, 2019

They take used oil, not sure how much you have to get rid of...but 5 gallons or less shouldnt be a problem. More than that, you better call to clarify. ALSO, O'Reilly Auto Parts, all or almost all stores you can bring in used motor oil to dispose of. *BOTH PLACES ARE FREE* , At O'Reilly, you have to take your container into the back stockroom and dump it yourself into their big container meant for it. I just did it AGAIN myself about 3 days ago. This was the 3rd or 4th time dumping for me.

When you pull into the lot, you have to drive all the way around the building. Nearly a full circle. You'll see parking spots at the end of the circle, just before you can turn out to leave the property (drive to the last couple of spots to park as it's closest to the door). The entrance is at the southwest corner of the building.
