Expect piles of mixed materials and large open areas for maneuvering; weekends can get busy, so lines sometimes form.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort and bundle similar items at home so unloading is quicker - it makes lining up and getting through the station smoother.
- Aim for weekday mornings if possible; that’s when waits are generally shortest compared with afternoons or weekends.
- Secure loads before you go (tarps, straps) and bring gloves or basic tools to break down bulky items - unloading goes faster when stuff is prepped.
