Vegetative Waste Management
TAHOE DONNER’S GREEN WASTER PICKUP PROGRAM IS NOW MANAGED BY THE TRUCKEE FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
Truckee Fire Protection District manages curbside green waste pickup in Tahoe Donner through Measure T funding. The Tahoe Donner Forestry Department will no longer pick up piles eligible for chipping. Tahoe Donner residents must request green waste pick-up online via TruckeeFire.org/GreenWaste.
The Green Waste Pickup program will run from May 1 through October 19.
Yard Waste Carts
Yard waste carts will end service on your collection day the second week of November. Visit this page for more info.
First-time yard cart orders can be made online at keeptruckeegreen.org, and orders for additional yard carts must be made by calling TTSD at (530) 583-7800.
Green Waste Dumpsters
Maximum of two six-yard dumpsters per household. Call TTSD to order at (530) 583-7800. Available May-October only. These will sell out, so book in advance! Delivered to your property on Wednesday and retrieved full on the following Wednesday. Loose material only – do not put in bags.
TRUCKEE FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT DEFENSIBLE SPACE REBATE PROGRAM:
TFPD will reimburse the cost of a green waste dumpster so you can remove vegetation and create defensible space around your home! Simply provide a paid receipt from TTSD. One dumpster rebate per household, until program funds last. For full details, visit Keep Truckee Green or call (530) 582-7850.
Drop-Off Services at Eastern Regional Landfill
Truckee residents who have the means to self-haul yard waste material to the Eastern Regional Landfill (ERL) are allowed to drop off up to six yards of yard waste for free between May 1 and October 31. Residents need to unload their material themselves once at ERL. Please do not bring bags.
In order to take advantage of the free drop-off, Truckee residents are required to bring proof of residency (something with a Truckee address – utility bill, drivers license, etc.). ERL is located just three miles past the mouse hole tunnel on Highway 89 and up Cabin Creek Road.
