My friend and I waited over three hours to drop off some old paint and electronics. Thank God my car has a/c and Sirius! In fairness to the organizers of the event, I think they staffed based on the turnout of their last drop off. Supposedly there weren't nearly as many people who showed up last fall so they were caught off guard and were very apologetic. I wonder if the high turnout this time is just a fluke or are people really starting to "think green"?

In fairness to the organizers of the event, I think they staffed based on the turnout of their last drop off. Supposedly there weren’t nearly as many people who showed up last fall so they were caught off guard and were very apologetic.

I wonder if the high turnout this time is just a fluke or are people really starting to "think green"?

Shame that they couldn't figure out a better way to do it. This sounds like such a clusterfuck! Shame that they couldn’t figure out a better way to do it.
