Sam Roehler (5/5 stars, 5 months ago): The Environmental Center is a great service to the community. It's very easy to drop off waste recycling compost and more. Plus you can pickup usable materials in the reuse room for free. It's always a good idea to check here for painting supplies cleaners or other supplies before buying them elsewhere.

Nancy (5/5 stars, a year ago): Cheerful courteous helpers when I dropped off my paint and battery. I went inside and even though it was 15 minutes to closing time the two ladies that were working on Saturday afternoon were very courteous and pleasant and helpful. They never made me feel rushed and it was a very positive experience and quick to check out.
