Douglas Disposal

4 Stars for the Satellite containers available at Jacks Valley Elementary School (between Genoa and Carson City) and the helpful service I received at the Douglas Disposal Transfer Station for my mixed paper, newspaper, and magazine recycling. That’s a free right turn before you get to the scales.
2 Stars for Driving all the way to far South Garnerville to recycle the above mentioned paper as their is not provision for them at the Satellite containers. Let’s also say that this turns their supply chain system on its head. There’s got to be an easier way, aside from my Mother-​In-​Law breaking down and paying for garbage service.
3 Stars for the final score and the fact that as far as dumps go, it’s satisfactory.

I love the dump. That lovely aroma that strikes ones nostrils makes the experience memorable. The scenery is breathtaking, blends well with the aroma.
The customer service is friendly and helpful.
The dump. I love it.

Douglas Disposal is more than just a transfer station. It does this well, but its recycling center is something worthy of your attention.
If it’s recyclable, they’ll take care of it. I primarily use it for my empty glass containers, newspapers, cardboard, tin, aluminum, and plastic. I occasionally use it for batteries, mercury containing lights, and paint (although you do need to make an appointment to drop off partial containers of paint). I have noticed that others are bringing down used engine oil, but I’m a bit too lazy for this.
Many people are taking full advantage of this location, and it is not uncommon to be crowded, especially when I seem to go, Saturday mornings. During the workweek, or later on a Saturday, it seems to be less crowded.
Yesterday was a great example of how nice they are as well. It wasn’t crowded and I had glass, newspaper and cardboard. The man that worked there came over and unloaded half of my stuff for me. This is the first time this has happened, but it was not expected and it was appreciated. Maybe it’s an example of small town graciousness, or it might simply be this man’s great attitude, but these kind of people seem to be few and far between.
So, yes, it’s a transfer station for your general household refuse, but it’s so much more.
