So glad this place was referred to us. We were in need of a spot to take our big refrigerator that…read morewould not cost us. It was from our rental where our son and family lives. It was a nice one that just died. The haul companies were charging $125 to take it away. It cost for us to deliver to the dump also. I called Western Metal on the phone first to ask questions. Nice polite lady gave me all the information I needed to make a decision. I was told we could take it in and get payment for the metal, donate the value, or just drop off and leave which was the quickest method. Once we took it there, everyone was nice and helpful. We just decided to drop it off. But if I had a lot of metal, I would have them donate the money. It is a great idea. I like the fact that the metal is being recycled rather than buried in the landfill. This was a great option and we will use them again.

Gas is not cheap and my time is precious just like anybody else's time. I approach the gates a tall lanky bearded quite rude man says we quit taking stuff about 3 minutes ago I look at my watch and it says 402 now last I checked on the website it said 4:15. So apparently they have no decided to close at 4:00 like all the others The one thing that separated them and put them apart from everybody that extra 15 minutes which was a side factor not just My own decision to go there but several friends and family members. I don't know bad for business . The lazy guy in charge of updating website and the tall gentleman who dismissed me so eagerly with such vigor should get together and have lunch and maybe I can save the 15 minutes had a phone call with it relative or spared the $5 in gas and maybe I could have applied to something else.

After we moved to Reno about five years ago, we had some items we no longer needed. At that time we…read moredid a little research and found that we could take them to the Lockwood landfill at no charge. The contents included a queen bed mattress. We do not often need to get rid of a lot of stuff or big and bulky items. However, we have maintained a hide a bed couch mattress and memory foam topper in the bed of our truck because we have used it for camping in the past. It has been a few years since we have used it and are ready to graduate to something other than sleeping in the truck bed while camping. We needed the truck bed to move landscaping materials. So, we checked out our options for disposal of the mattress. We heard there was a transfer station in Stead which is much closer to our home than Lockwood. We needed to get rid of a hide a bed couch mattress we have used for years in our truck bed as a place to sleep when camping. My wife called waste management and confirmed they were open and off we went. The employees were friendly and helpful and let us know that they have to charge at this location for the mattress disposal but that Lockwood continues to take them for free. We did not have the time to drive out to Lockwood and therefore opted to pay the disposal fee of $44.56. While we didn't love paying to get rid of garbage we would encourage others to either pay the fees necessary or drive out to Lockwood to dispose of these items. Don't dump your unwanted items in the desert!!! Be responsible and do your part to keep our deserts free of trash and debris.

Second, some grade school educated Latino who only knows the word ''iron', uses a magnet to tell what the metal. What morons. Have you idiots heard about alloys? According to these thieves, if you bring in steel which might have some iron, chromium, molybdenum, and carborundum, they call it 'iron' because it is magnetic. That's robbery. Third, aluminum is priced nationally at .60 cents a pound, but these crooks give Renoites 30 cents. However, when I brought in twenty pounds of aluminum cable, they gave me 6 cents a pound. Pure crooks. Do not do business with the dirty crooks.
