    This place is absolutely gross. It smells musty and like there may be a sewage leake or something. Ownership should really take a few steps in the direction of cleanliness! I hope your house isn’t as dirty as this place!!

    Excellent place! Had 6 pallets of unwanted product, and was advised to go here. Gravel parking lot was sorta small and tight to maneuver. However unloading was super quick.
