How accurate are the hours and accepted items on this page?

Locations come from open datasets (Overture Maps, OpenStreetMap, U.S. EPA and state programs). Where a business publishes hours or accepted materials on its own website, we read them from there and mark the listing. Everything else says "Call to confirm". Last data refresh: Oct 2026. See how we get our data on the methodology page, and use "Suggest an edit" on any listing to report a correction.
