• WM's 2026 Carson City Residential Disposal & Recycling Services brochure sets out the collection side of the consolidated city-county's program. Under "CURBSIDE BULKY PICKUP": "Each residential customer account includes curbside bulky pickups for up to 4 large items per year, including e-waste. Please call (775) 343-7596 at least 48 hours in advance to schedule service. Items must be curbside by 6 a.m. on the scheduled collection day. Acceptable items include furniture, tires and appliances with doors removed for safety. Prohibited items include construction debris, medical waste and Household Hazardous Waste (HHW). Please indicate items to be picked up when booking your appointment." Under "DUMP VOUCHER": "Residents will receive a voucher from the City in their utility bill each Spring which are good for one free disposal at the Carson City landfill. Voucher use is limited to one pickup truck bed, and one small trailer (4 x 8 feet) filled with trash. Identification and proof of residency is required." The brochure also records a "SELF-HAUL APPLICATION" exemption from mandatory collection for "Residents who routinely self-haul their trash (solid waste) to the Carson City Landfill on Flint Drive", which requires "original landfill receipts demonstrating monthly disposal for 12 consecutive months prior to service exemption application" and states "Photocopies of receipts will not be accepted." A "SENIOR RATE APPLICATION" offers "A reduced rate (75%) for mandatory trash (solid waste) collection service" to qualified residents, renewed every two years. WM's office is "5560 Sheep Drive, Carson City, NV 89701", "Mon - Fri: 8am - 5pm", and the brochure gives the landfill as "3600 Flint Drive", "Carson City, Nevada", "(775) 882-6066", "Monday thru Saturday" "7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m." Collection holidays coincide with the landfill's: "New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day". Source Not confirmed: A mattress is not named in the bulky pickup list. The accepted list is "furniture, tires and appliances with doors removed for safety" and the prohibited list is "construction debris, medical waste and Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)". A mattress appears on neither list, so whether it counts as furniture for this program is not stated. This is an absence, not a refusal. Not confirmed: No size or weight limit is published for a bulky item, so whether a queen mattress of 80 inches qualifies cannot be established from the brochure. Not confirmed: The brochure does not say whether a mattress and a box spring are counted as one large item or two against the allowance of four per year. Not confirmed: The fee once the allowance of four items per year is used is not published anywhere in the brochure. Not confirmed: The dump voucher is described as covering a load "filled with trash" and names no accepted or refused items, so whether a mattress may be taken on a voucher is not stated. Not confirmed: The brochure gives the landfill address as 3600 Flint Drive, which conflicts with the 4000 Flint Drive on Carson City's own Public Works landfill page.
• Carson City's own landfill page sets out the Carson Spring Clean-Up free disposal voucher in the city-county's words. "FREE CARSON CITY LANDFILL DISPOSAL VOUCHERS": "As a part of Carson Spring Clean-Up, Carson City will be including a Free Disposal Voucher in your March or April water/sewer/storm drain utility bill." Eligibility: "For Carson City residents only; tenants may pick up a voucher between March 30 - June 30, 2026, at Public Works, 3505 Butti Way - please bring a photo ID showing proof of residency." "Not for commercial use." "One-time use - voucher will be collected by Landfill attendant at the time of use." "No vouchers will be distributed after June 30, 2026." The published limits are: "Limited to one residential load - maximum load is one pickup bed and one small trailer (4' x 8')", "No commercial loads", "Oil and antifreeze recycling limited to 5 gallons each", "Maximum three automotive batteries", "Maximum four tires (auto and light truck only)". The page adds "Please remember, all loads must be covered to prevent blowing trash." and "No household hazardous waste (paints, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, any liquids, etc.). To drop off these items for free disposal, please call (775) 283-7955 to make an appointment. Household hazardous waste cannot be accepted without an appointment." The redemption window is "Vouchers can be used at the Landfill through October 31, 2026; Monday through Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m." Source Not confirmed: The voucher page names no accepted or refused household items. Mattresses are neither listed as accepted nor excluded, so whether a mattress may be brought on a voucher load is not stated. Not confirmed: The published 2026 dates have passed and the page does not say whether the program repeats, or on what dates, in 2027. Not confirmed: The page does not say whether a resident may use more than one voucher per household per year, beyond stating the voucher itself is "One-time use".
