Every Nevada rate we've verified is side by side in our guide to what it costs to dump in Nevada.
The landfill takes household hazardous waste by appointment: call (775) 777-7396. That includes oil-based paint and stains, solvents and thinners, antifreeze and other car fluids, old fuel, pesticides (in their original containers), pool chemicals, fluorescent bulbs and rechargeable batteries.
Nevada law makes it illegal to dump a car battery, tire or motor oil anywhere that isn't permitted to take it, landfills included, so ask before you bring them. In a county with a permitted tire-processing facility, tires can't be landfilled at all; elsewhere landfills cut or split them first.
