I’ve used this facility three times. Here is everything you need to know about using this facility: It is ON BASE. If you can’t get on base, then you can’t use it, obviously. To get there, I recommend going in Gate 1A (the main entrance from OH-444) or Gate 15A (the entrance from I-675 north). Drive towards the water tower. If you’re going in Gate 1A, you should be aware that there is construction on Sacramento St. So take a left onto San Antonio Ave. instead. Go around NASIC and find the place. There are three areas: 1) The disposal station for oil & transmission fluid. It is located in a little building at 39.797478, -84.052206. (Copy and paste those numbers into Google maps.) It is open 24/7. 2) Disposal bins for cardboard. They are located next to #1 at 39.797541, -84.052316. (Copy and paste those numbers into Google maps.) They are open 24/7. 3) Disposal for everything else (plastics, cans, glass, paper, etc.) This area is accessible through a gate and is NOT open 24/7. The gate to get into this area is located at 39.797478, -84.052206. (Copy and paste those numbers into Google maps.) Drive your vehicle through the gate and proceed to the proper areas. (There are signs.) I think this area is supposed to be open from 8 to 5, M-F. Here's more info for #1: As mentioned above, the oil dump tank is open 24/7. I recommend wearing gloves. Park adjacent to the little building. You'll see a big, black funnel attached to the top of a tank - dump your oil into it. Unfortunately, the funnel drains slowly and frequently gets clogged. To unclog the funnel, look toward your right. You should see a steel wire on the drip platform (made from a coat hanger). Use the steel wire to lift the steel screens from the funnel, and then shove the wire down into the funnel to unclog it.

There should be a way for the public to get in and use it. Maybe you wouldn't have lost money on recycling plastic.
