Share Your Thoughts in the Lake Tahoe Resident Survey

As a resident of the Lake Tahoe region, we need your perspectives and experiences related to tourism and outdoor recreation. 

The Tahoe Fund has joined with more than a dozen organizations to create a shared Destination Stewardship Plan. This plan will collectively redefine how destination management can better serve the greater Tahoe region — now and into the future.

Everyone has a role in this process, which is why we need your input.

Please complete this critical 5–7-minute survey that will help guide and improve tourism and outdoor recreation management efforts. Your responses are anonymous and confidential.

With the holidays coming there’s certainly a lot of styrofoam waste that will be generated. While our local dump does not recycle styrofoam, or any Polystyrene PS-6 products, Atlas Molded Products in Reno does! They are open until 5 Monday to Friday and will take any clean PS-6 including packing puffs (not the kind made from corn starch- only styrofoam ones), big white blocks, supermarket meat trays, takeout containers, and crunchy cookie trays. Just make sure anything you give them is clean and marked PS-6. 775-343-3400.
