Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.

A local disposal site for Reno residents and small contractors, located on Vassar Street just north of the industrial area. People drop off household junk, construction debris and other everyday loads here; it’s the kind of place neighbors use when the curb won’t do.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be ready to slow down-there’s usually a scale and a short line at busier times. The site itself is open and dusty, with big trucks moving around and piles of mixed material rather than neat stacks. Pull up where directed and wait for a worker to point you to the drop area; you’ll likely turn around and cross the scale again before leaving. Summer brings hot, dry conditions and gusty winds, so expect dust and heat if stopping by during the day.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure everything in the truck bed or trailer so dumpsters and gusts don’t send debris onto the road.
- Bring a physical ID and payment ready when you get to the booth so the process moves faster.
- Try to avoid weekend mid-mornings and spring-cleanup weekends if possible-those are the times lines back up the entrance.
