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

A straightforward disposal site serving Fallon and surrounding rural areas. Locals and small contractors drop off household and construction debris here; it’s the kind of place people use when a pickup load or trailer needs unloading.
The site looks like a fenced lot off Reno Highway with a small entrance booth and an open tipping area. Expect to pull up to a scale booth or weigh station area, since rural disposal sites typically charge by weight and require a stop in and out. There are piles or bins for different materials set back from the entrance, and trucks and pickups line up on busy days. Bring a vehicle that can back up easily - the tipping area is visible from the entrance but not huge, so maneuvering matters.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose material before driving in; wind on the highway and across the lot can scatter loads.
- Sort trash from recyclables and heavier debris at the tailgate so dumping goes quickly once at the drop-off point.
- Avoid mid-morning weekends during spring cleanup if possible - lines usually form and it can take extra time to get through.
