Anna (5/5 stars, 5 months ago): The people here were so kind and knowledgeable! I had never been before and was pretty clueless. They made what could have been a challenging and confusing experience an enjoyment.

Mark Hargesheimer (3/5 stars, 10 months ago): Dropped off my cardboard. The dude ahead of me was a bit poky. It's all good I was in no rush to do anything urgent. Then I dropped off some paint. The staff there were very kind and informative. Pretty smooth operation on a Wednesday morning. You can get free paint there too.
