Reno residents receive limited bulk item pickup through Waste Management plus free dump days at the Lockwood Regional Landfill. Items include furniture, mattresses, and appliances (Freon units require separate handling). Construction debris is not included and must be self-hauled or use a rented roll-off.
Waste Management offers bulky waste pickup for Reno residential customers, typically on a call-ahead or appointment basis. Each household generally receives a limited number of bulky pickup events per year included with service; additional pickups may incur fees. Accepted items include couches, chairs, mattresses, box springs, tables, dressers, grills (propane tanks removed), and non-Freon appliances. Appliances containing refrigerants (refrigerators, freezers, AC units, dehumidifiers) require EPA-certified Freon removal and have separate scheduling and fees. Tires are accepted in limited quantities for a fee. Construction and demolition debris, concrete, dirt, yard waste over certain volumes, hazardous waste, electronics, and hot ashes are NOT accepted and must be taken to the Lockwood Regional Landfill or a licensed facility. Washoe County offers free annual community cleanup days in Reno neighborhoods where residents can drop off bulk items. Residents may also self-haul to Lockwood (off I-80 east of Reno) for per-load tipping fees. Electronics can be recycled through Reno e-waste events and Best Buy take-back programs.
Illegal dumping on public or private property: up to $1,000 fine plus cleanup costs and possible criminal charges. Leaving bulk items at the curb without scheduled pickup: property maintenance citation.
