Waste Management - RSW Recycling

Small-ish recycling center in Reno that locals use when curbside pick-up won’t take something or during neighborhood cleanups. Neighbors, contractors and folks clearing out garages tend to show up here with mixed loads of recyclables and bulky stuff that needs a drop-off.

The site looks like a working yard more than a showroom - expect piles of sorted materials, roll-off bins and a gravel or paved drive where trucks and cars circulate. There’s typically an entrance booth or weigh scale where vehicles stop before entering and again on the way out for weight-based drop-offs. Bring items reasonably sorted by type so unloading goes faster; staff often direct people where to put each material. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can back up into the street, so plan for a wait.
