Daniel Schmitt (5/5 stars, a year ago): For the last year I have been helping to clean up after my brother passed away. He had accumulated motor/transmission oil grease as well as many other auto related chemicals. So I came with 25 gallons of oil and I was able to dispose of it. It was a great experience. The workers were really helpful so thanks much!

Frank Strobel (5/5 stars, 3 months ago): Used this service three times now and it has always been super easy. No wait. The two young gentlemen working there have been really nice. Very convenient and great service.
