Mineral Springs Staffed Recycling Center in
Sylva (NC)

Had an employee get upset with me when I arrived at the location 15 minutes before closing because "We close early to clean up". (I had 2 household trash bags in the bed of my truck.) He said I got lucky that he let me in so close to quitting time.

The gate is closed early a lot of the time (by the same worker) and one of the staff members is always harassing. For example, I have been accused (not asked) of hauling trash for hire and told that I was lying when I replied that I wasn't and talked down to because I took a large load in after I had broken my leg. Also the same worker that accused me told me that I was blocking the line (which I was the ONLY vehicle at the time) before I had hardly stepped out of my truck, when I had pulled up to the recycling bin and walked back to the compactor to dump my cans (just so that I COULD leave room for others). He then proceeded to ignore me and run inside the shack and shut the door when I asked him why he didn't say anything about blocking the line to the vehicle that had now pulled in and stopped short, in front of the shack, of the compactor and was about 15 feet out in the lot.

It is easy to get into as long as ppl do not stand around and talk. Also many opl knows the employees that work there and leave their vehicles in the way to visit and shoot the Bull. But no trash laying around.
