Free Greenwaste Drop-Off Days in Lake Tahoe, Placer County – 2013

By

Free Greenwaste Drop-Off Days in Lake Tahoe, Placer County – 2013

Free Greenwaste Drop-Off Days in Lake Tahoe, Placer County - 2013It’s that time of year when we need to clean up after the long winter.  Picking up pine needles, trimming back the brush, taking down dead trees, or getting rid of broken tree limbs that may have come down during the winter, and don’t forget picking up the pine cones!

Once these materials have been collected, off to the garbage dump right?  If you live in Placer County here in the greater Lake Tahoe area, and if you plan ahead, you can save yourself some money by taking your greenwaste to the Eastern Regional Materials Recovery Facility, during one of the three designated “free weeks” (we still have two designated weeks left), or to one of the designated sites on June 22, 2013.

What is greenwaste?  Greenwaste is considered to be one of the following materials:

  • Tree Limbs, Brush and Bark
  • Pine Needles and Pine Cones
  • Dry Grass and Dead Leaves
  • Yard Trimmings

Placer County residents can drop off up to 6 yards during the 3 free week period, or 3 yards during the one day free event on June 22, 2013.  If you’ve recently hauled off anything to the garbage dump you know how expensive the fees add up so this is a great way to save some money!

The question I always ask is “How much is a yard?”  Here are some ways to measure:

  • A standard pickup truck filled level would be approximately 2.5 yards.

Another way to measure is by large plastic bags.

  • Three (3) yards is approximately 20 large plastic bags, and 6 yards would be approximately 40 large plastic bags.

If you bring your materials in the back of a truck, remember to cover that area with a tarp.  If you bring your materials in plastic bags, you will be required to empty your bags out at the dump site.  You won’t have any assistance so make sure you can unload and empty all of your bags on your own.

Here are the details:

Three Weeks – One Location (Maximum 6 yards over 3 weeks)

  • May 20 -25, 2013 (May has come and gone, but you still have two more chances!)
  • June 17 – 22, 2013
  • July 15  – 20, 2013

8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily

Where:  Eastern Regional Materials Recovery Facility

900 Cabin Creek Road (Between Truckee and Squaw Valley)

One Day – 3 Locations (Maximum 3 yards)

June 22, 2013

7:30 a.m. – 2 p.m.

  • Tahoe City North Tahoe High School – Near the Bus Barn
  • Homewood South Lodge – Tahoe Ski Bowl
  • North Tahoe Regional Park – Snow Park Area

Free Greenwaste Drop-Off Days in Lake Tahoe, Placer County - 2013If you have questions for either the free week(s), or for the single day greenwaste drop-off call 530.583.7800

The free greenwaste drop-off days are available to Placer County residents (includes second home owners).  Remember to bring proof of residence when you make your greenwaste drop-off. A utility bill with your Tahoe property address on it and a picture ID is all you need to take advantage of this great service.

Plan ahead to clean up and make the most out of the upcoming Placer County free greenwaste drop-off day, or free week(s) here in Lake Tahoe – 2013.
