This place is awesome I've been coming here for a couple of years and it's amazing how many different things that are helpful that I've gotten here and one of the employees Larry came and helped me today when I built a large thing of degreaser. he was really sweet about it and I wanted to mention him specifically

Don’t come here if you have more than one or two boxes of stuff. I was cleaning out a hoarder house and had a single carload full of used printer cartridges. All completely empty and ready to be recycled. On the phone they said they could take them. When I showed up they accused me of being commercial and not residential despite me showing them my Tempe license and explaining to them that I wasn’t getting paid for this. They told me they didn’t believe me and I had to go somewhere else. Waste of time.

I have used them to dispose of tainted gasoline and household cleaning products. It is great to have this resource so people aren't tempted to pour things down the drain.
