Cameras are placed everywhere so they know if you're not being neat and putting items in the dumpster. It's nothing to see but at least it's a place to get rid of recyclables so they can be used again and not tossed in the trash.

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.

It was rather confusing to navigate, and while they did have a person in a booth, as well as some…read moresignage, I found the signs kind of too little too late (or maybe I went the wrong way??). The person was blocked by a vehicle that may have been for the county, or may have just been a person dropping off. They were there the whole time. Anyway, when you pull in, go directly to your right if you want to recycle something. There are different stations based on the material. The bins in the middle are for cardboard and such, all labeled so you can tell. The electronics were on the right side in a covered area. TV monitors and accessories are separate stops FYI. The exit was confusing... I drove toward the exit signs and they seemed to be leading to where the trash trucks were going?? I turned around and went back the way I came. You may never need to come here, but if you're disposing of a TV/computer monitor, this is the place to go, as it is illegal to throw out with curbside trash. This facility also seems to have compost/mulch services. They do a lot here, so it really is a good thing for the community. Just felt like I was wandering through a maze.

You just drive up onto the vehicle scale and pay the person in the booth, then drive around to the other side and a massive amount of mulch gets dropped into your vehicle or trailer! This would take so much more time, effort and money if done in bags from a hardware store! They do topsoil too! They're also a composting and recycling facility. I can't wait to go back and see what else I can do there!
