Went to this facility on November 13 2024 @ 11:15 am hence was done and out by 11:35 am. I paid $20 for two TVs (2 x $10) plus cardboard and some used dead batteries. Didn't know what to expect when I got there as it was my first time there. With that said. There were about 4 cars ahead of me and things were moving along pretty smoothly. One must wait at a stop though that proceeds some railroad tracks. Not a good idea to be waiting in a car on railroad tracks. Lol. Anywho once I made it to the employee sitting in a shack handed him my Driver's license and $20 for the two TVs. He then gave me a receipt and told me to use lanes 2 or 3. I did wait for a few minutes until I made it up to the unloading spot. An employee unloaded the back of my SUV in no time flat. In closing all the employees that I encountered today were polite and nice. No issues to mention. And the picture below gives you an idea of fees for TV and tires.

Easy process…never had to get out of the car! I do advise checking the website before going so items require payment. And it holds everyone else up if you don’t pay first.

They took my 30-year old snow blower which I had removed the oil and gas from. Took my oil also. Simply and easy
