Waste Management will hold the first of four 2010 residential dump days on Jan. 2 and 3. Additional dates will be announced later.

To help with household cleanups and curb illegal dumping, Waste Management will offer reduced residential rates for municipal solid waste (MSW) at both transfer stations in Reno on those two dates. In addition, identified materials commonly associated with illegal dumping will be accepted at no charge, such as household appliances (freon-free refrigerators, hot water heaters, stoves, dishwashers and washers/dryers) and eligible bulky waste (sofas, chairs, mattresses and box springs). Any other such materials will be accepted at more than 50 percent off the regular gate rate.

Residential dump days rates: standard pick-up truck with MSW — $10 flat fee; small pick-up truck with MSW — $6.50 flat fee; all eligible common household appliances and bulky items as identified below — no charge.

Acceptable household appliances: refrigerators (additional charge for freon recovery), hot water heaters, stoves/dishwashers, washers/dryers.

Acceptable bulky waste: sofas, chairs, mattresses, box springs.
