For your free monthly drop-off Bring a copy of your water bill, tarp your load, and bring a safety vest!<br>Both are required. They will sell you a vest for $10 if you don’t bring one. Extra charge for untarped loads I think is $10 for pickups.<br><br>Well organized. Office people are friendly and informative.<br><br>Designated area for homeowners free trips that does not require driving into the area where the large garbage trucks go. Easy access, large ramp.

First time user of facility. Had carpet and padding for living room home remodel that I'm doing myself. According to their scale the weight was 200 lbs. When I got there I had to buy a vest for ten dollars, my bad in not knowing. I also was not allowed to use dumpsters nearby to drop my small load, I had to drive the long nasty road to dump my carpet when the trash trucks were dumping.<br><br>I was charged $43.04 upon exiting ($10 for vest) and when I asked why so much the cashier said there's a one ton minimum charge which the sign says. I was shocked to pay $33 to legally get rid of a small amount of carpet. I went to large entrance sign which under the facility name says $10 minimum charge ( no I didn't get a picture). I went back to scale house and advised the male cashier and another female who also get involved in conversation. They said that was an old sign and not the updated fee. Any business would honor the posted price but not this place.<br><br>I can see why people dump stuff on side of roads illegally.

Inconsistent rules and policies. I went in twice this week and both times had different scale house attendants with different rules that simply pointed at the window with poorly written guidelines. Attendants are not polite. If you live in Temple but dont have temple water. Than youur subject to higher fee's. Website lacks information. If you have a small car then they have a dumpster near by. If you have a trailer, you will be sent to the back. Attendants can't tell between a strapped load and or loose load. Bring you load tarped since they can't figure it out you will pay 20 bucks for a "tarp fee". The landfill area is a mess. Sometimes there's a guide, sometimes there isn't. Therr isn't much organization per say. The ground near the pit is loose. Very loose. I can see people getting stuck that don't have 4x4.
