Pull up and you don't have to get out of car...easy and fast.

Light bulbs, batteries, paint, cleaners, fertilizer, all kinds of chemicals and potentially hazardous items. It's so easy to drop-off items here instead of putting them in the trash (like you're not supposed to do).

There may have been about 15-20 cars ahead of me when I got there. It took an hour to get through the line! There's only one person receiving materials. But the customer service is good.

Get there a little early because there will be a line. It wasn't like that the last time I was there so maybe they are under staffed right now. I had a very mixed experience this time. The staff member that took my license was very kind and helpful. The one who seemed to be in charge was curt, and asked me with an accusatory tone if I lived at the address on my license. He then stared at me for a few seconds like the thought I was lying. He didn't actually say it but a review of my dash/cab camera and I stand by those initial thoughts. Anyway, they took my old paint cans and florescent light tubes that have been piling up over the past decade and I was on my way. Plan on sitting in line at least half an hour if you go on Saturday morning. I was one of the early ones and it took about 40 minutes. I'm guessing those that showed up 20 minutes after me will be there over an hour based on how long the line got and the speed they were moving.
