Apr 20, 2018
Starting July 1, the Town of Truckee will no longer accept green yard waste bags. Residents who opt-in can receive free carts for yard waste, to be collected every other week.

Consistent with our Town’s sustainability goals, these services will:

  1. Prevent up to three million plastic bags from being landfilled over the next 10 years
  2. Eliminate the need for Truckee residents to purchase costly blue recycling and green yard waste bags
  3. Prevent recycling contamination and increase the amount of materials that can be recycled
