These guys work hard. The other day, one of my friends had a counter that served 279 people by 11am. Sometimes you might not understand. Trucks come to haul the containers away. The workers can't hold them up. So if he is telling you it is full, or to hurry up. It's probably because the driver had radio or called them to pick up a container. As the metal bin, it can be 1/2 empty. It doesn't matter; they will rotate and be removed at times anyway. These guys make $9.00 an hour. They work hard, be patient with them. They do an awesome job.

Been using the recycling center for over 20 years. The population in this area has grown a lot. The stress in the system and the workers is obvious. Be courtious and prepare for your trip. Separate your recycling at home and break down your cardboard at home. We all need to use the center and waiting for folks to do these things while clogging up the system is unnecessary.

Called to check to see if I can dump my trash there the man gave me the hours and the cost to buy a garbcard. I get there on Sunday with my small U-Haul truck, a few cars were in front and they just drove in parked and started taking stuff off. The man comes to my truck and says what do you have I said just stuff from my building, nothing to much no furniture just bags of stuff laying around. I.e old shoes, old buckets, old tools kitchen ware. So he immediately says no room, mind you there are dozens of cars, trucks with trailers unloading their truck, then I asked him there is space right there he immediately starts yelling NO ROOM so this pissed me off so I sat right there until I found a place to take my trash. As I was sitting there, another man came over and asked what I have I told him the same thing and I said I’m seeing a lot of people still pulling up and dumping there stuff why don’t you have room for mine, he said I dont know why he told you, I said well could I get some stuff off and he said “I just have to go by what the other man said” but he was a little helpful with giving me another place to call. So I sat there and called the other places along with others, so the first guy comes back over and said I’m blocking others from coming in, well hello, 7 cars pulled in and dumped they stuff while me sitting there, I wasn’t blocking anyone, I asked him again why is it that people are steady coming and dumping but you have no room for me. And again he yelled NO room, so I rolled up my window and continued to sit there about (7min) until I found a place. This old man was rude and unpleasant. I really want to say he was a little racist. Just by the interactions he was giving me. I Will never go there again. He really needs to check his attitude.
