As the weather gets warmer the City of Reno is getting ready to kick off one of their most popular events, Biggest Little Spring Cleaning.
These events help give people the opportunity to dispose of things they no longer need, free of charge. The city will be accepting things like furniture, large trash and even debris from yards.
Organizers say not only is this a good opportunity to declutter your home and yard, but it also helps prevent illegal dumping.
The first of six events will be happening Saturday, March 21st.
The city wants to make sure people know that nothing hazardous is allowed to be dumped this time around. That includes anything that has a plug, no paint and no tires.
Ward 6 Councilmember Brandi Anderson said "Any of the natural waste branches, grass, bushes, any of the things that you've got sitting around that could potentially be fire hazards. Doing some defensible space planning. This is a great opportunity to clean up your yards and kind of, start the summer fresh."
However, she does encourage people to ensure they aren’t bringing anything hazardous because they will be turned away, she said, "We don't want you to have to wait in line and then turn you around, because we don't have the opportunity to dump those this year. But all of the other things, it's just so helpful to be able to start the spring with a clean yard and a clean mind."
if you can't make it out next Saturday, the program continues on selected Saturdays through May.
