Sparks residents can drop bulky items, appliances, and recyclables free at the Lockwood Landfill during business hours, or arrange a large-item pickup with Waste Management. Illegal dumping on lots, alleys, or roadsides is enforced by Sparks Code Enforcement.
For couches, mattresses, and old appliances that will not fit in a cart, Sparks gives residents two routes. The Lockwood Landfill, off I-80 at the Mustang exit (exit 23), accepts bulky items, appliances, and recyclables free of charge from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Alternatively, Waste Management schedules on-call bulky-item pickups for residential customers for an added charge. Dumping large items on a vacant lot, alley, or roadside instead is illegal dumping, which Sparks Code Enforcement actively pursues alongside its neighborhood-blight program.
Illegal dumping of bulky waste on private lots, alleys, or public rights-of-way is enforced by Sparks Code Enforcement and can bring abatement orders and penalties, with the responsible party billed for cleanup costs.
