The last event in the City of Reno’s Biggest Little Spring Cleaning series is scheduled for Saturday, June 14.
The final event will take place at Mira Loma Park, located at 3000 S. McCarran Blvd., from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Since April, the city has worked with HERO Environmental Services and Waste Management of Northern Nevada to provide locations for residents to dispose of household hazardous waste, electronics and large junk items.
“Now is the time for residents to take advantage to do some spring cleaning by getting rid of any excess waste in and around their homes,” said Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve. “It’s important for us to do our parts in keeping our city clean and beautiful for years to come and we hope community members participate in this amazing program.”
Each ward has hosted a clean-up, with hazardous and e-waste disposal offered at select locations, sponsored by councilmembers in their respective wards.
The Mira Loma Park event will include collection of hazardous waste and electronics. Organizers advise arriving early, as the event ends once bins are full.
Accepted items include:
Large trash and debris, limited to one truck bed (3 ft. by 3 ft.)
One large appliance per household
Household hazardous materials, including paint or oil
Bicycles, up to six per household
Electronics and batteries
Tires, up to six per household
Green waste
Items not accepted include mercury-containing products such as thermostats or medical equipment, prescription drugs, CRT TVs, asbestos or items containing asbestos, and radioactive smoke detectors.
