Yard Waste Carts
SB 1383: Organic Waste Recycling
You might’ve heard about a new organic waste recycling law in California, called SB 1383. Under this law, yard waste materials must all be recycled through a yard waste collection service. Yard scraps should not be placed in your trash. Please note that in Truckee, we cannot collect FOOD WASTE in yard waste carts. Please only place yard trimmings (pine cones, pine needles, branches, grass clippings) in your green cart – NO FOOD SCRAPS! Food scraps can be dropped off at a compost drop-off dumpster, or should otherwise be placed in the trash. Learn more about SB 1383 and what it means for Truckee.

How do I use my cart?
- Place yard trimmings (pine cones, pine needles, branches, grass clippings) directly into your yard waste cart. NO FOOD WASTE! NO BAGS!
- Place your cart on the edge of the street no later than 6 am on your service day. Carts should be 3 ft away from other carts or other objects, with the cart handle facing away from the street center. Lids must be completely closed.
- After service, remove carts from the street. Carts cannot be left in the Town’s right-of-way.
Are you unable to roll back your cart after each service?
TTSD will roll your cart in and out on your service day with a paid subscription. Contact TTSD directly to set up by calling 530-583-7800.
