4. Will staff help me unload my stuff?

No. Staff are present to direct customers to the proper places to unload their materials and ensure only the correct items are being unloaded. They are not responsible for helping to unload your materials and it is encouraged that you bring help with you if you feel you will need it. 

5. Why are there long lines every time I go?

Long lines and wait times are simply a product of customer volume. Current traffic studies done by staff show that M-F from 7:30 to 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM thru 2:00 PM seem to be the heaviest times and all day Saturday (7:30-12:00). Other delay reasons are the weigh in-weigh out process or the customer may want to change payment type, which can slow down the process. Staff does its best to help direct customers around to speed up the process and we are currently installing an additional scale to help with the volume.   Safety of staff and customers is always our highest priority.

6. Why do you have to go across the scale when bringing items to be disposed of at the hand unload or yard waste site?

Customers are required to weigh in. While on the scale, the software is capturing the vehicles total weight and notes are being made about the load (material type, County of origin, etc.) The customer is required to leave their credit card and ID with the scale operator until the unloading process has been completed. They will then proceed back to the scale they started at and the empty weight is subtracted from the original weight to get the net  weight of the materials disposed. This net weight is how the charge is applied. The scale will then use the credit card to pay for and complete the process.
