The way out is through
Default Anyone know where to rent a dump trailer?

I've got to empty out Lisa's parent's storage unit this weekend, and I'd like to rent a dump trailer so I can just toss most of their crap out in one trip to the landfill.

Anyone know where to get a dump trailer? U-Haul doesn't rent them... they best they've got is a 6'x12' open trailer which has some pathetic low sides on it. I might as well just build some 2x4 sides for my car trailer and use that if I can't find something that will dump.

Also, where's the landfill around here? Out I-80 toward near Mustang? Is there a dump in-town? What's it cost for dumping a trailer-full of crap?

I thought the big dump was near Lockwood?

Well the bigger problem is finding a trailer... Anyone have suggestions for equipment rental places?

I met a guy (friend of a friend) that I'm pretty sure rents dump trailers. He's in Sparks. I'll try and find his card when I get home.

Scott, the trailer place across the street from Nevada Off Road on Rock Blvd North of Glendale rent dump trailers. I think it;s called P & J Trailers or something (NOT PJ trailers).

Yeah its less expensive but I do believe that its now further out than lockwood so it might work out to be the same price after figuring in the price of gas, pulling a full trailer. I can't believe its been this long since I have had to dump something.

Transfer station downtown is on Commercial Way right behind Sid's. It was $20 for all biodegradable brush/cardboard in my mostly full F150 bed 8 months ago.

Lockwood should be less. Signs on freeway tell you which exit. There are also countless directions on burning man web sites.

If you have old appliances, Sierra pacific will pay $30 and pickup old refrigerators, and others can be recycled at the scrap metal yard in Sparks for cash as well. They take broken cars as well.

Can't find his card. But I think it is the P&J trailers that Matt is talking about.

Too bad you couldn't have done it last weekend, Waste Mgmt had a voucher for the month of April for free dumping at the Lockwood dump. (I looked at my coupon on May 1, blah.)

So, is there a dumping ground for old (PC) monitors? Or are they supposed to be recycled?

Old computer stuff can go to http://computercorps.org/

They are Carson based but take small quantities out of one of the clearwire office in Reno.
