Residential Curbside Green Waste Pick-Up

Truckee Fire offers free Curbside Green Waste Pick-Up. Pile your woody biomass at the curb, request a pick-up, and our crew will collect it with a grapple truck and haul it away!

IMPORTANT: This program is NOT to be used for piles created by a paid contractor. Service providers should account for full biomass removal in their bids.

Residents can transfer their TTSD 6-yard digital green waste punch card to contractors, who can then claim up to 6 free yards of disposal at the Cabin Creek ERL.
