PennyLane Callahan

PennyLane Callahan (1/5 stars, 4 months ago): $24 for 1 cubic feet is so outrageous. $45 to dump an air conditioner is quite extreme whether the unit is working or not. I'm not sure if this price structure is set by the city or the facility but when other dumps charge by the weight you can't possible expect people to utilize your location and are really asking for people to illegally dump in other parts of the town. The 1 star is for a friendly service inside the dumping area. Not the unhappy gate access ladies but I'm sure that with those prices they have their work cut out for them with sticker shocked visitors giving them an earful of how this place is a rip off.

Johnathon Uncapher (2/5 stars, 2 months ago): Nothing but bums closed 20 minutes early. Just lazy and bummy. If you're going to close at 430 and not 5 it should say that on your "business hours" that way I don't rush in from 20 minutes away with a truck load of garbage that I now have to haul back home and haul it back out and cross my fingers that they're even open during their posted business hours. Incredibly frustrating. Somebody should be fired for this.

Julie Hydrick (1/5 stars, 2 months ago): Closed because of a tiny bit of snow WTH? Also they are ripping people off on prices! In one day three trips to the dump with same material each time they charged astronomical price difference between the trips. That’s how we can tell the public they are ripping YOU AND I OFF!!!
