Terrible service when I was there on September 5th. The people there were lazy and non-responsive to my questions while I was there. There were also people in the area that were not really working on anything and just standing there. They complained about issues or people who came through earlier in the day (I overheard some the conversation they were having). It would be nice if they open up the reuse room as well since I would like to get some cleaning supplies.

Great place to properly dispose of many household chemicals. You might also want to check their reuse room for small quantities of free items.
