Dominic does junk removal in Sparks, and you book it with a text. Text a photo to (775) 316-7470. Sparks housing runs newer than most people guess, with a median build year of 1993. About 40 percent of Sparks households rent, and that means a steady run of move-outs. When a tenant leaves furniture behind in Spanish Springs, Wingfield Springs or near the Sparks Marina, an eviction and rental property cleanout clears the unit between leases.

In Sparks, excess waste can go at the curb in a 32-gallon bag, box or bundle no bigger than 3 by 3 by 3 feet or 50 pounds, and each piece needs one of the stickers the city mails out every January. Twice a year, in May and November, you can set out up to 6 extra bags a week with no stickers. A recliner or a dead dryer usually runs past that 3 by 3 by 3 foot, 50 pound limit, so that's the kind of load he takes. Sparks Code Enforcement also counts old furniture and appliances on private property as blight, so the pile by your side fence is worth clearing early.

A Sparks job can start with a photo of the thing the curb rules turn away, like that recliner, or of a unit that has to be empty before the next lease. He asks what needs to go and prices it by how much room the load takes on the truck, with loading, hauling and dump fees inside that number. The quote holds unless the job turns out bigger than the photo showed. If it needs eyes on it, he comes out and quotes it in person. Once you approve the price, he sets a day and time, explains the work before starting, cleans up the area when the load is out and does a final walkthrough.

Usable furniture goes to Goodwill first. Metal goes to a scrap yard to be recycled. Real trash goes to the Carson City landfill or the Stead landfill, even though the county lists Lockwood Landfill on E. Mustang Rd. in Sparks. Old paint cans in the garage work differently. The city treats water-based house paint as hazardous while wet, but dried out or solidified with dirt or kitty litter it can go in the garbage cart with the lids off.

“I had a great experience with Dominic and Reno Junk Removal. Professional, reasonably priced, on time, same day service. My garage was filled with old toxic chemicals from the swimming pool and cans of paint that needed to be properly disposed of. What a relief it was to watch the mess disappear and to know it was not going to have a negative impact on the environment by just going into a landfill. Highly recommended!”

“He was responsive on text, gave me a quote from the images I sent, and able to pick up a load of stuff from our garage less than 48 hours after initial contact. Day of he was running late due to another job but texted ahead of time to let me know. Loaded stuff on his own and was off! Great service and a great price. Would definitely recommend.”

“Can’t say enough good things about Reno Junk Removal. Dom is very professional and responsive. He and Tyler came to my house the same day and picked up and hauled off a quarter of a garage worth of cardboard. The amount of time they saved me from trip after trip of taking it all to the dump was well worth the reasonable price. I highly recommend Reno Junk Removal.”

Questions

Questions about junk removal in Sparks.

Can a couch go out with Sparks excess waste stickers?
No. In Sparks, excess waste at the curb has to fit a bag, box or bundle no bigger than 3 by 3 by 3 feet or 50 pounds, so a couch is past the limit. He carries it out of the house instead.
How much does junk removal cost in Sparks?
Jobs start at $80. A couch runs past the city's 3 by 3 by 3 foot curb limit, so it rides on the truck instead. He prices it by the room it takes on the truck, with dump fees already in that number. The junk removal pricing guide walks through how he figures it.
When can Sparks residents set out extra bags without stickers?
In May and November. Twice a year the city lets you put up to 6 extra bags a week at the curb without using stickers.
How soon can a Sparks job get done?
Same day, most days. Sparks is right next door to Reno, where he's based. For a rental that has to be empty between leases, he works Monday through Saturday at any hour, never on Sunday, and arrives inside a 30 minute to one hour window.
What won't Dominic haul from a Sparks home?
Bed bugs and other pests, propane tanks, asbestos, and medical or biohazard waste stay off the trailer. In Sparks, wet water-based house paint counts as hazardous material, but once it's dried out with the lids off it can go in the garbage cart. The guide to what goes on the truck covers the rest.
