Truckee may alter yard waste pick up

Truckee is looking for feedback regarding curbside yard waste collection.

Currently, residents may set out four bags per week for yard waste collection. Truckee and Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal are considering recommending changing the program to incorporate the use of 96-gallon rolling carts instead of the green bags.

The proposed change may be before the Town Council in March. If approved, carts could be phased in over two years with Tahoe Donner and Glenshire transitioning to carts beginning in May. The remaining neighborhoods would begin the cart service in 2016.

Concurrently with the 96-gallon cart program the Truckee will continue to offer free drop-off at Eastern Regional Landfill and reduced cost yard-waste-only dumpsters.
