Awesome streamlined easy and convenient! As a mobile healthcare provider it’s priceless to have a proper waste disposal location and this place exceeds expectations! Fast friendly clear directions and I didn’t even have to get out of the car! I will be back! Thank you!

I came here on a Saturday morning to drop off old lightbulbs. I thought it would be a pain but it was surprisingly pleasant. It was a drive thru and the workers were all in a good mood and very friendly. I will be coming back here to drop off my medical waste (old needles) as well.
