Dump Bulky Items For Free At Lockwood Landfill

Waste Management is inviting the public to Lockwood Landfill’s annual Free Dump Weekends.

POSTED ON BEHALF OF WASTE MANAGEMENT
RENO, Nev. - March 27, 2017
 
Waste Management is helping reduce illegal dumping by inviting the public to Lockwood Landfill’s annual Free Dump Weekends taking place on nine specific days throughout the month of April. 
 
Materials commonly associated with illegal dumping will be accepted at no charge. That includes eligible household appliances (coolant-free refrigerators, hot water heaters, stoves, dishwashers and washers/dryers) and eligible bulky waste (sofas, chairs, mattresses and box springs).
 
“Our goal is to keep thousands of yards of waste from being dumped illegally in our open space,” says Lockwood Landfill District Manager, Chris Anderson.  “Waste Management is committed to helping the communities we serve with their environmental service needs.”
 
This event is open to residents of Reno, Sparks, Unincorporated Washoe County and Storey County in addition to their usual service offerings.
