Review

Been holding out for a long time hoping for years this place would get it together. However huge disappointment almost all of the time. Only reason I attempt to go there is how close it is to where i reside. List is too long to cover but here are just a few. Price increases almost 3 times a year over the past 3 years. Yes it used to be like $13 so who knows what it will be the next time I go(IF I even return). Website is trash not current most of the time loops around so you are unable to check on pricing or breakdowns(last time I checked a few months ago). Website told me that this is the time of year to bring leaves in for free as this is one of the drop sites well I guess my leaves were "too dirty and needed to be clean leaves" whatever the hell that means and I would need to pay $29 for just the leaves in my yard not even a regular truck bed full. Wait times can exceed over a hour on a bad day and around 20 - 30 min on a regular afternoon. Want to recycle well you have better have all of your cardboard cut and perfectly flat or else... I would really recommend spending the extra time and gas to go just about anywhere else as I usually do to save the headache. The layout of the place is ridiculous they changed the "flow" and apparently they did not think it through. I am sorry I am not covering it all and you might end up experiencing some of the many other defects of this place and good luck with some of the customer service as I have personally witnessed many people pretty upset with the price and how they "calculate" how much you need to fork over. Good Luck!!!!!!
