Worth knowing in Reno
Reno-Sparks and the industrial park in Storey County host battery makers, data centres and distribution buildings serving Northern California. Battery and electronics parts need specified, sometimes hazardous-goods-compliant packaging; distribution buildings need stock cartons. Dry air keeps board in good shape, but hot yards and cold winters both call for indoor storage. Winter brings snow over Donner Pass, which can delay trucks from Sacramento.
Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center, one of the largest industrial parks in the country by land area, sits in Storey County east of Sparks. Companies there ship to California, Oregon and Idaho within a day by road. Battery recyclers in the area receive and ship cells in specified hazardous-materials packaging.
Interstate 80 runs over the Sierra Nevada to the Bay Area ports, and winter storms on Donner Pass can hold trucks for a day or more.
We quote delivery to every ZIP in all 3 counties of the Reno metro area: Lyon, Storey and Washoe, not only the warehouse districts. The ZIPs with the most warehouses are 89506 Reno, 89431 Sparks, 89434 Sparks, 89521 Reno and 89502 Reno, and the most warehousing jobs are in Washoe and Storey counties.
