Know Before You Go!

We answer your most frequent Drop-Off Center questions.

Our Drop-Off Centers are self-serve facilities. We would love to be able to help everyone, but safety and liability concerns and staffing limitations prevent us from helping customers remove any items from their vehicles.

Follow our Facebook or Instagram channels, sign up for our text alert system, or check this website before visiting our sites.

Saturdays and the first day we are open after a holiday are our busiest times. Wednesdays, Thursdays, and late morning any day are often less busy.
