I am always amazed at how the staff is so friendly and helpful. But this morning was different. Today I had to deal with the kid with no personality who casually walked away leaving me to empty the heavy load myself. He must of missed the PERSONALITY / ENERGETIC class that I assumed all the other staff member's attended.

The place sure is a dump and is very reasonable for your disposal needs but the supervisor, Jeff is the biggest piece of trash you can find in the place. The way he addressed my friend and I today was very uncalled for and the person next to us agreed. I hope life gets better for him or his customer service skills get better because they sure don’t fit a supervisor.
