Food Waste Pails

Did you know that bags are not accepted in our food waste collection program? Food scraps should be emptied directly in the food waste dumpsters. No “compostable” plastic, paper, or plastic bags are accepted.

To make it easier to collect your food scraps, you can use a food scraps pail. Pails are available to purchase for $5 at Mountain Hardware on Donner Pass Rd, Glenshire General Store, and the Truckee Certified Farmers Market on Tuesdays May – October. All sales are donated to Sierra Community House.
