Review

Why do all of the sanitation facilities in Cheyenne have banker hours. Most folks would like to do a dump run on the weekends but with these hours you pretty much have to take time of work to get it done. Not surprising to see all the garbage that gets dumped on rural roads considering these hours!

Adjust your hours so people who work normal jobs can use the dump! what good is it when you close at 4pm and people can't get out to you to dump by the time we get off work. And no weekend hours? this is the most ridiculous schedule for a dump. no wonder garbage just gets dumped everywhere illegally.
