Self-Haul

Businesses may also comply with mandatory organics recycling requirements by self-hauling food waste to a facility that can process these materials for compost or other type of organics recycling. State regulations and Town of Truckee Municipal Code Section 6.01.070 requires businesses that choose to self-haul to:

• Source-separate all food waste materials.
• Haul recyclable materials to a facility such as Eastern Regional Landfill Material Recovery Facility that processes or recovers source-separated food waste.
• Maintain records of the amount of food waste delivered to each facility, which may be subject to inspection by the Town. These records shall include the following information:
  • Delivery receipts and weight tickets from the facility accepting the food waste
  • The amount of material in cubic yards or tons transported by the business to the facility.

Businesses using self-haul to comply with mandatory food waste diversion requirements must complete and submit the Certification of Commercial Organics Recycling Form below.
