Collection Schedule

Collection Day: To find out the collection day for your address, contact Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal at (530) 583-7800.

Holidays: Collection occurs on your usual collection day, even on holidays. However, TTSD will usually start routes earlier than usual to allow staff to spend time with their families, so your pickup may occur earlier than usual on your route. On a working holiday, remember to place the garbage outside by 6:00am. Note: Administrative offices are closed during most holidays.

Severe Weather: Garbage collection routes will be completed at the earliest opportunity. If the town and county roads to your neighborhood location are impassable, our crews will generally attempt to gain access again later in the day. However, sometimes they must return on a later date.

Please help our collection crews do their job by:

• Maintaining clear access to your garbage containers, including all snow and ice
• Making cans visible to collection driver, but not blocking the snowplow.
• Placing cans behind snow poles when setting them out.
• Securely fastening lids (no screw lids) to prevent animal intrusion or water absorption.

Yard Waste & Recycling Carts: Green and blue carts are serviced every-other-week on opposite weeks. Yard waste carts are serviced May – November, and recycling carts are serviced year-round. A service schedule is below. Find more information on the yard waste cart service and the recycling cart service. Need a reminder about whether it’s green or blue cart week? Sign up for weekly email reminders.
