Rudest men! Approaches us because the man that was behind us told us to wait out turn. Just throwing things in the same dumpster. We waited 40 mins to get in because someone dropped something in between the scales. We waited enough. Wait your turn at a dumpster haha!

Here recently this is by far the worst landfill to have to go to. They pick and choose on what they want you to take and not take. I live 5 minutes away and I'd almost rather drive 45 minutes away to a landfill in Orange county. I mean it's a landfill. They're supposed to take trash. It doesn't make sense to me that you take a full couch but you won't take a golf cart seat or a boat seat. Ridiculous. You guys got to get it together. It's 2025
