Free transfer station trips
The City of Reno's garbage and recycling program, which began in 2014, included four free trips to the transfer station for Waste Management customers. Call Waste Management at (775) 329-8822 to confirm your trips and what you need to bring before you go. Landlords can sign a property-manager form that gives tenants free access to the Reno transfer stations.
Waste Management also takes green waste for composting at the transfer station and at Lockwood Landfill.
Household hazardous waste
Each July, Waste Management includes a free voucher in Reno customers' bills for disposing of paint, batteries, pesticides and other household hazardous waste through GrayMar Environmental. Check the voucher for dates and drop-off details.
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.
