Items that share the same official city or county source are grouped here. Alias items open this program section; core guides stay on their own page.
Bulky pickup in Sparks
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Sparks WM customers self-haul mattresss with 4 free standard pickup loads per year at Lockwood Regional Landfill, 2700 E Mustang Road, or county transfer stations (ID + current bill). There is no published permanent public HHW depot. Keep chemicals for WM fee HHW (775-329-8822) or private recyclers.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Sparks/Washoe have no published permanent public HHW drop-off. For motor oil, call WM 775-329-8822 about fee HHW acceptance or use private/PaintCare-type outlets listed in local recycling guides. Keep chemicals off Lockwood bulky loads.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Sparks does not put electronics in trash/recycling carts. For e waste mixed, call WM 775-329-8822 for fee options or use private processors. Wipe data. Lockwood is not an e-waste depot.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Sparks recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. Washoe County / WM franchise brochure is the official Sparks program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
