Yep, you read correctly. This is a review of the Tangerine Landfill! I've been to this landfill a…read morefew times. The first couple of times I went to drop off some junk, and let me tell you, I had a dam good time tossing my junk around. In fact, I had such a good time that I went back again just to explore. The cost to enter is an easy $10 for a truck load. You'll obviously get charged more depending on the shiz you wanna dump and how much junk you have. When you enter, you'll drive for a little ways then stop at a little toll booth. There's usually some grubby looking dude there who will assess your junk and give you a price. Now, I didn't have any trash to dump during my last visit, and I didn't want to look like one of those creepers who likes to play around in trashy places. So what I did was take some trash bags out of my neighbor's cans and threw them into the back of my truck to make it look like I had legitimate trash to dump (which technically I did, it just wasn't mine). I don't know about you people, but for me, I always had this idea about trashmen that they were these gross, ugly, weird, and vial human beings. I mean, who in their right mind says to themselves, "You know, I think I'll get a job in the trash industry today and do that for a living." I'll tell you who... the unsung heroes. I'm not sure where I got this whole stereotype of trashmen being all kinds of dirty (no pun intended). Maybe it came from my childhood when I used to stare outside my window and see the people from waste management rummaging through my garbage cans and opening up the trash bags. I always thought it was gross and so strange which is why I used to watch them do it every Wednesday morning before I went to school. It's probably the reason why i am a bit fascinated with trash too. I mean, I took my neighbor's trash just so I could mess around at the landfill. Don't judge me though. I'm doing it all for my fellow yelpers. I'm dedicated like that. Anyways, the trashmen at this place are very friendly and courteous. They are not weird, ugly, gross, or vial, so don't be afraid to ask them questions and talk to them. Trashmen are people too. There are a couple bins right after you pay your way in. You can dump your metals, cardboards, oils etc. If you drive up the hill, you'll pass by a place to throw your old appliances. At the very top, you will arrive at the place where you can dump anything. I talked to the guy up there and he told me, "We'll bury anything up here." All you gotta do is back your vehicle up and throw all your shit on the ground. The trashmen will bury all that crap with sand and water using their awesome bulldozers. The last time I was there, I tested the sturdiness of the ladders. Warning: they are a bit wobbly so be sure to hold on to the handles and take it easy going up. The smell isn't bad at all. It may smell a bit musty up top, but down below it's completely fine (that's what she said). There is a speed limit and the roads are not paved so be sure to keep that in mind. Don't be doing any of that offroad nonsense. You leave the same way you came in. With that said, the landfill is a fun and magical place. If you and your family are ever looking for something to do, I'd recommend taking the wife and kids to the landfill. It's a great learning experience. Teaches kids how to recycle and what not. Who knows, maybe your kids will be so fascinated that they'll decide to work in the trash industry. It's a noble job and I'm glad there are people willing to do it. They're society's unsung heroes without a doubt. With that said, 5 stars go out to my friends at the Tangerine Landfill. Stay vigilant people. -Joey Rockafella -

There is a spring performance planned so I'm looking forward to that one. The staff is all volunteers and the program is free to the kids. So support them if you can. Kids need more arts and theater and face to face social activities I believe this and Valley of the Moon is encouraging this.

Place seems to attract hippy types who hang around, reminds me of a 60's cult commune. Staffed by volunteers in bad costumes, they take you around a dusty acre of land built by a strange "gnome type man" who lived on vitamins & canned milk. He put up some concrete structures, sort of like a poor man's fairy land. Lighting is good, rather creepy with all the hippy types though. Put it on your quirky to do list. Be sure to tell someone you are going there or go with a group of pals. Be careful not to step on dead gnomes.

I would like to acknowledge Ms. L.

I had the pleasure of her customer service skills and assistance during a telephone and e-mail conversation regarding a much-needed legal form. Ms. Yoder's attentive listening skills, during our telephone conversation, were on full display after correctly surmising which form would be applicable for my purpose. She offered e-mailing me the forms rather than my having to drive to the resource center to personally pick them up. Soon after our telephone conversation ended and with me providing my e-mail address, I promptly received the form attached to the e-mail. She also provided days and times for walk-in assistance, several links and other information about court procedures; legal research page; Family Law Free Legal Clinic assistance if needed; filing and filing fees and how to receive timely responses from the Law Library and Resource Center. This was a customer service experience that ranks one of the best thus far. I felt truly appreciated as a customer and commend Ms. Yoder's professional, sincere approach for her job performance and commitment for doing her job way above what is expected.

I traveled to the south MVD here in Tucson on Broadmont to handle some 'adult life western world' things. The bathrooms were decent. It's distasteful and I can't see why it's so difficult of a thing to remove the mirrors and other things but not clean up the walls or at least make it look nicer. They really just let things look bad. Scan your ID , or schedule an appointment online ahead of time, but either way you'll hop in a line. There are no chairs except for handicap individuals. Plenty of room for chairs IMO! I was very happy with the person who helped me. She was so attentive, clear, listened and helped. Thank goodness for a good human interaction! Would I recommend this place? Well ya, if you gotta handle things. But I'm not sure what the other places are like in comparison. I didn't take too many pics because it was pretty busy.

We went upstairs to check our forms and just out of curiosity I asked at the information desk about the wait. She told us there was one person ahead of us. It took 14 minutes total to get in and out of there with 2 passport applications processed. If we had taken the officer's advice, we would have probably been waiting for a long time at 8:00 with all of the other people he told to come back unnecessarily. Plus having to take a second trip downtown and paying again for parking.

My pre-check was due to expire before I could get an appointment in Phoenix. So we set out on a…read moreSaturday morning for the two hour drive from our home in Mesa to enrollment center in Tucson. Not wanting to run into a delay and be late we planned to arrive about an hour before my scheduled time. We made good time on the freeway and arrived at 12:30pm for my 1:40pm appointment. Instead of stopping for lunch before hand, we went straight to the enrollment center, rang the buzzer and asked if by chance they could take me early. The sliding doors opened and we were in the waiting room. That's when we met the voice on the speaker. Agent Ballesteros! He took me right back and made quick work of the interview. He was kind and efficient. I turned over my passport and my Arizona Driver's license showing my current address. He took my fingerprints and had a few questions, mostly to verify the information they had was correct. I received a Global Entry information guide in which my new pre-check number had been written. Then we were done. I thanked Agent Ballesteros for taking me early and we were on our way out. The chairs in the waiting room had a few people in them by then. I'm thinking we must have showed up right at the end of their lunch break. If you're in the greater Phoenix area, don't hesitate to make the drive down to the Tucson Enrollment Center if an appointment time in the Valley won't work for you. Just be aware of the heavy traffic during morning and evening rush hours mostly between Phoenix and Casa Grande. Plan your appointment for a time that allows you avoid rush or come on the weekend and enjoy a nice drive. It's definitely doable and certainly worth the benefits that Global Entry affords us.

Located at the Tucson airport, they process global entry interviews here…read more I've been enjoying the Global Entry and pre-check privilege for almost 8 years now and finally decided to apply for my family members. Interview spots at Phoenix airport weren't available until a few months later but Tucson location offered a whole lot more including weekend! Parking is available at the short term parking at the airport. Park near the entrance as the Global Entry office is near there. We arrived one hour earlier than our appointment time but they kindly went ahead to process. The whole process was about 5-6 minuets. I thought it took 15 minutes when I originally applied but their process was very quick and efficient. I was thinking did I just drive 2 hours one way for five minutes interview? But considering benefits we get from the membership, it was worths the drive. If you can't get interview in Phoenix, consider Tucson as your alternative.
