Reno residents are invited to participate by bringing trash, yard waste, and other large items they would like to dispose of.

“These neighborhood cleanups are an important part of the City’s sustainability efforts,” Duerr said. “We invite our community to come out on Saturday to take advantage of this great opportunity before winter arrives.”

Items accepted:

• Large trash and debris
• Tires
• Small appliances
• Grass clippings*
• Tree and hedge trimmings*
• Bicycles**

*Green waste will be delivered to a commercial composting facility. Volunteers will be present to ensure the waste is uncontaminated.
**Bicycles will be donated.

Items not accepted:

• Hazardous materials (including paint or oil)
• Refrigerators or microwaves

If you are unable to attend and would like to drop off green waste at another time, the City of Reno encourages residents to consider local commercial composting facilities:

• RT Donovan
• Full Circle Compost

“A change in local behavior is needed to help achieve zero waste. There is hidden value in composting food and green waste,” Duerr said. “One of the best ways is to show the community how and what can be composted.”
