3-9-25 $153.67/ton to dispose of trash and they charge $27 additional just for entering! 😬 Well it's Metro government that run it no wonder it's expensive. I would bet if the private sector ran it it would be 20% plus cheaper. At least they have a friendly staff. 👍😃👏

I’ve dropped off a considerable amount of junk here including bio waste over the last couple years. The prices are reasonable and the workers are always really friendly. Biohazard section closes earlier than the main area so check closing times before making a trip if you need to go there.

Every person that I interacted with here at the OC location were very friendly and gave me direction as to where I was to go with my cardboard in the way back corner of the main building #2 - I could not believe all the junk being thrown away in the huge resevoir. Pretty amazing to see!
