Since they opened it to commercial use the line has been horrible, long waits. Also makes it dangerous if you try to get to hominy creek park

The man who drives the tractor, and pushes trash around is super dangerous. He has no regard for members of the public or safety. I will not be dumping here again because I won’t lose my life dumping trash. They really need to replace him because I’ve been here multiple times and he is incredibly rude and likes to just yell at random people.
