Open 7 days a week 8:00 a.m.–5:15 p.m. for large loads; bagged household garbage until 5:30 p.m. Loads must be tarped ($20 fee otherwise). Filed as a program because the Census geocoder could not match the address.

Note whether it’s latex (water-based) or oil-based; programs often treat them differently.
