A great resource for Opelika citizens. There's posted hours and a gate here but it looks like the gate stays open 24/7. Has a series of very large bins a dumpster appliance area and a shipping container for electronics (no batteries) paint aluminum and more. Remarkably clean and doesn't even smell bad.

This place is kinda hidden and you would pass right by it but it is a great resource. They accept everything from electronics and paint to cardboard boxes. Very clear labels on where to put things. Does not accept glass so be prepared. This place is great.
