It sure why but I got reamed out by one of the ladies here because I pulled up at 1:35 to drop off trash and recycling - and they close at 2 PM? She told me “for future reference you should be here by 1:30”?? This was on Wednesday and they are closed on Thursday and Friday and again Monday for a holiday? I’ve only ever had positive interactions with the folks that work here and pleasant conversations - not sure what’s changed - but someone needs a coaching on customer service and interactions with residents…..
