Junk removal in Reno, by neighborhood.

Dominic does junk removal in Reno, his home base. Text a photo to (775) 316-7470. About half of Reno households rent their home, so a lot of the work here is turnover. A tenant leaves a dresser and a mattress behind, and the unit has to be empty before the next lease. If you own the rental, here's how an eviction and rental property cleanout works. With half the city's homes built in 1990 or earlier, plenty of garages and sheds hold decades of things nobody has touched.

The city's hauler takes green waste for composting at the Transfer Station and Lockwood Landfill. For a citywide cleanup, the Biggest Little Fall Refresh Cleaning box on this page has the details. Yard rules are a separate matter. Reno Code Enforcement says couches, mattresses, refrigerators and tree limbs aren't allowed in a front or side yard. A recliner sitting in a South Reno front yard can be a code problem. He can haul it out of the garage or the back bedroom instead, so nothing has to go to the curb.

Take a rental in Old Southwest with a new lease starting soon. Before the first item comes out, he explains the work so you know what's going and what's staying. The dresser the last tenant left behind in the bedroom goes to Goodwill first if it still has use, and any metal goes to a scrap yard. The rest is real trash, and it goes to the Stead landfill. A garage in one of the older houses gets the same treatment, from the back wall to the door. When the load is out, he cleans up the spot and walks it with you. If the house is across the city line, the page on junk removal in Sparks covers that side.
