Commercial Cardboard Recycling Reminder
Truckee’s cardboard drop-off dumpsters are for residential use only. State law requires businesses to recycle cardboard through a recycling collection service or by self-hauling cardboard to a certified facility. Truckee businesses have several options for recycling cardboard for free or at low cost, including:
1. Place cardboard in your blue cart. Blue carts are free up to the same capacity of your trash service.
2. Haul cardboard to Eastern Regional Landfill, located 10 minutes from downtown Truckee on Hwy 89 South. ERL accepts clean, broken-down cardboard for free.
3. Businesses with large quantities of cardboard can also subscribe to a reduced cost cardboard dumpster service through TTSD. Businesses without space can share with a neighboring business.
For questions or assistance right sizing your trash set-up, reach out to Keep Truckee Green staff at (530) 582-2928 or Recycle@TownOfTruckee.gov.
