Glad this place exists and I try to use it as often as I can (even though it is a haul for me). I…read moreget monthly shipments that require temperature control so I am glad I can take the white Styrofoam containers to a place to be properly disposed of. The last visit I had some old, defunct flat screen monitors for a computer I don't use any more and they do take a number of small electronics and lead batteries. Just make sure to follow the signs and instructions. When I have visited, it was during the week so there was never a line, you can pull your car up to whatever section you are disposing at and be on your way. There are usually staff members doing something at the various stations, so if you have a question on where to place your items, they are the best bet.

If you have a couple bags of kitchen trash to drop off, you have to go through a big truck scale and wait five minutes behind a long line of cars and trucks, some of them dumping tons of yard waste or construction debris. It's very inconvenient. Then when you get to the scale they don't weigh your load or even look at it. They just wanted to make you wait in line in the hot sun for no reason. The whole process is very poorly designed and their operation of it seems improvised and haphazard. It's not worth it.
