This place is a wonderful place to take your broken appliances, anything electric, used batteries, used spray paint cans, unwanted household interior and exterior paints, chemicals, used engine oil and more. They are open on the weekends. You don't get out of your car, they remove everything for you. I recommend this place.

Super easy. Put the paint/e waste/oil in the trunk. Pull through and they take it out and your on your way. No mus no fuss. Someone will point you exactly where you need to drive, stop, and exit.

Nicest, most efficient team of workers around. I've been there several times this year, with an old microwave and several cans of paint. Can't get any easier, drive in, let them unload, and away you go.

Fast, efficient, courteous and professional. In all the times I have been there maybe two cars in front of me, but they unload two at at time, so no problem. Stay in car and pop the trunk. So easy and much faster than most Saturday local Collection Events I have gone to with friends.

Do you accept old kitchen knives?

Terri Glidden | Aug 19, 2022
Tom Baumann | Aug 19, 2022

TL;DR - I don't know for sure, but... I've taken sharps there (razor blades). I put them in glass spice jars. They accepted those. I would recommend taking a load of stuff that you need to dispose of, that you know they accept (batteries, household electronics etc). They are good about letting you know how to get rid of what they don't accept (carbon monoxide detectors: contact the vendor). Good luck.
