Attention Truckee Residents!
Please take a moment to complete the Town of Truckee super simple five question survey on how you dispose of yard waste.
We are trying something new: In exchange for the one day Fire Safety event that occurs each June, all Truckee residents will be granted a free pass to drop off up to six yards (approximately 40 bags) of pine needles and vegetative waste at the Eastern Regional Landfill (ERL).
Residents may drop off yard waste between June 1-16, Monday – Saturday, from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. ERL is closed on Sundays. Proof of residency required. You must live within the Town limits to participate and must show a photo ID with a Truckee address when you arrive at ERL. If you don’t have your home address on you ID, no problem, simply take your ID along with a utility bill.
Be prepared to unload your own yard waste. If yard waste is transported to ERL in bags, you will be required to empty the bags to take advantage of free disposal. Multiple trips are permitted.
Accepted Items:
pine needles
pine cones
lawn trimmings
garden waste
brush, twigs, limbs and branches
wood chips
bark
Not Accepted:
food waste
pet waste
rocks
dirt
In addition, the Green Bag curbside yard waste collection program continues. Limited to four tied green bags per week, green bags are available at Mountain Hardware, Tahoe Supply Company and the Tahoe Donner Member Services office at Northwoods Clubhouse.
