Easy access if not super busy. Otherwise pretty straightforward.

I'm not quite certain how one could improve this facility. Recently renovated, it has a drive up recycling system with multiple containers, a hazardous waste facility, and a covered dump area easily large enough for a 4 door long bed truck with a loaded dump trailer. Great service, and friendly folk at the in-out kiosk.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
