Very organized and quick drop-off. Drive up, hand things to the employee, and tell them what it is. They take it and put in the applicable bin, cart, or shelf.

I’ve had good experiences shopping here. Some (not all) of the donation staff can be downright rude. About 30% of the time when I try to donate here it is an unpleasant experience, like today.
