Pull up to a staffed entrance booth and someone will direct vehicles to different collection bays or outdoor drop-off lanes. There are covered areas and open bays where staff sort items into containers, and separate containers for electronics and chemical items are easy to spot.

Signage is visible near the driveway and there are usually rows of collection containers and roll-off bins past the booth.
