From Waste Management:
In an effort to assist residents with household cleanups and curb illegal dumping, Waste Management announced the next “Residential Dump Days,” scheduled for Friday, May 1, and Saturday, May 2. Residential Dump Days is held only at the Waste Management transfer station in Virginia City.
“Providing Residential Dump Days help keep thousands of yards of waste and bulky items from being dumped illegally in our open space,” said Sarah Polito, Waste Management of Nevada's communication specialist. “We are committed to helping the communities that we serve with their environmental service needs.”
Identified materials commonly associated with illegal dumping will be accepted at no charge. These specific items include eligible household appliances (Freon-free refrigerators, hot water heaters, stoves, dishwashers and washers/dryers) and eligible bulky waste (sofas, chairs, mattresses and box springs).
“With spring cleaning season coming, this event provides our customers with the opportunity to dispose of their bulky waste and other Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) at a discounted rate,” said Polito.
Any material that falls outside of these parameters will be accepted at more than 50 percent off the regular gate rate (rates outlined below).
The free disposal for specific items during Residential Dump Days is the result of a partnership between Storey County and Waste Management. Both recognize the role of citizens in making this effort successful by ensuring citizens understand what is eligible for free dumping versus reduced dump rates during this two-day event.
