Spring cleaning? Make White Pine Green Up part of your trash-tossing plans.

This innovative and unique program allows White Pine County residents to leave at the municipal landfill – absolutely free-of-charge – their old appliances, automobile tires, construction waste and scrap metal. Old car and truck batteries can be taken to either J & P Auto Parts or Wheeler Machinery Company – again, without charge.

A five-year pilot project, White Pine Green Up is entering its second year of operation. The project is a collaborative effort by the City of Ely, Nevada Division of Forestry, BLM and Forest Service.
