Residential Dump Days gives Truckee Meadows residents an opportunity to properly dispose of regular trash, yard waste, and bulky household items. The spring 2013 event will be on Saturday and Sunday, April 6 and 7. Dumping will only be at the local transfer stations. The Lockwood Landfill is closed on Saturdays and Sundays. However, there will be some free dumping days during April and May, 2013 (see details below under "Lockwood Annual Spring Free Dump Event").
Both events described in this article are for private residents only. Commercial dumping will be charged at regular rates.
