How disposal works in Nevada
In Nevada's two big metros, private companies run disposal: Republic Services in the Las Vegas valley and Waste Management in Reno and Sparks, and neither posts gate rates online. Elsewhere, cities and counties run the landfills and post their prices: $30 a ton for Carson City residents, $40 in Elko, $133 at the Douglas County transfer station, and free in Nye County for residents' household waste since June 2026.
State law makes it illegal to dump a car battery, tire or motor oil at a site that isn't permitted to take it, landfills included. Many sites take them separately for recycling, sometimes free, as in Carson City.
