The attendant measured my trailer and quoted $84. No way in L was I paying that much for what I had. On the way I saw a mattress on the side of the road so being the good Nashvillian that I am I picked it up. $8 more next time I'm leaving it for metro. Haggled down to $48. Next time I'll find an unattended dumpster.

Friendly reception. Helpful and informative instructions/directions.

Concerned

What's up with this woman working there? We show up a 4:00pm and she tells us we have 10 minutes to unload. The sign says they close at 4:30pm which was more than enough time to get it done. In addition, she stands over the railing yelling at the guy directing traffic to cut the line off after a certain car. I have seen her at the recycling center off Omohundro and she was rude and refused to let me enter unless I put on a mask while in my own car! She needs to go!!!!!
