Fernley Mayor’s Free Recycle Day set for Sept. 19

Fernley residents will have a chance to clear out unwanted household items during the Mayor’s Free Recycle Day on Saturday, Sept. 19.

The event will be held from 8 a.m. to noon, or until collection bins are full, at Out of Town Park, located on the 6-acre lot behind the Rodeo Grounds.

Residents can bring a variety of recyclable and disposable items, including large trash and debris, bicycles, one large appliance per household, computers and electronics, batteries, tires, green waste, cardboard and limited amounts of household hazardous materials such as paint and oil.

Items that will not be accepted include asbestos or asbestos-related materials, radioactive smoke detectors, mercury and CRT televisions or tube TVs.

The event is being supported by H&R Environmental Services, Redwood Materials and Waste Management.

Volunteers and donations are also needed. Organizers are seeking bottled water, work gloves, lunch items and monetary donations to help cover recycling bins and volunteer supplies.

For questions or additional information, contact April Homme at [email protected] or 775-784-9858.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.

Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion. Comment publication date: 5/7/26, 10:26 AM Comment source: Storey County, Tesla partner to extend I-80 Patrick on-ramp
