Office hours???? How is a person supposed to use the business if it is only while the rest of us work? Do you offer outside units to place items if your not open? Why not like some places do an 8 to 12 once a month. People line back for miles and able to use! Why have something people cannot use?

Hours are inconvenient no after hours drop boxes. Brown haired lady is ALWAYS RUDE! I wish Tuscola County had more options! If Whitmer wants Michigan to go back to #1 for recycling she needs to figure out better recycling centers and availability!

Updated review: They have moved to a new facility it is much more organized and they are more helpful in helping you to sort properly. I went today and I arrived just after the rain had stopped and he said you're the only car that's come in over 4 hours.. And they all came to help empty out my trunk and my back seat back seat and I think it was a good move to move there because it's much more organized organized and the grumpy guy is now gone. The below review is from 2019: They may have been friendly and helpful 2 3 and 4 years ago but now is not the case. Employers county workers state workers.... they're all having a hard time finding decent employees willing to work and we all suffer. Barking at people to not put in this box it goes in that box way over there. And after I had dumped in several plastic bottles into the bin that said "plastic" he barked at me "NO ...those must go inside". Then I had some other items that I was told to take back home & place in the trash barrel. ( cardboard and "clean" peanut butter jars) I hope things get better but I doubt it.
