Self-Haul

Businesses may also comply with mandatory recycling requirements by self-hauling recyclables to a facility that can sort these materials for recycling. State regulations and Town of Truckee Municipal Code Section 6.01.060 requires businesses that choose to self-haul to:

  • Source-separate all recyclable materials.
  • Haul recyclable materials to a processing facility such as Eastern Regional Landfill Material Recovery Facility that accepts the materials for recycling.
  • Maintain records of the amount of recyclables 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 recyclables
    • The amount of material in cubic yards or tons transported by the business to the facility.

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

Note: the cardboard drop-off bins provided as part of the residential collection programs do NOT meet commercial self-haul requirements and are for residential use only. Businesses that do not self-haul recyclable materials in compliance with the state-mandated requirements in Town of Truckee Municipal Code Section 6.01.060 may be subject to citation.
