Several reviewers praised the competitive prices and friendly staff. Joshua Byras gave 5 stars and mentioned that the people are "always very nice to deal with and their prices are very competitive".

Chris L'Hommedieu praised the "professional and courteous staff" and the well-laid out dumping site.
Disorganization and Disgust
However, not all reviewers had a positive experience. John Hunter was extremely dissatisfied, giving the place only 1 star. He mentioned waiting in line for over 30 minutes to get to the scale house and then being treated poorly by the cashier. He also noticed trash and nails on the ground, as well as a polluted pond. Mark Farrell's review was only focused on the selection of clothes and furniture, and did not mention the dumping site or staff.
