Firewise Community Green waste Dumpster Reimbursement
Now Open!
Creating defensible space is a vital step in wildfire safety. This includes removing vegetation, shrubs, tree trimming or removal, vegetation disposal and other similar work. Removing and disposing of vegetation can reduce the likelihood of your house, or your neighbors house burning in the event of a wildland fire.
Truckee Fire - with funding from Measure T, is supporting community fuel reduction efforts by reimbursing up to four 20-yard or 30-yard green waste dumpsters for Firewise community workdays, as funds allow.
The Firewise committee is responsible to contact Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal (TTSD) , follow TTSD Terms & Use, rent the dumpster(s), ensure only green waste goes in them, and manage the workday & pick-up of the dumpsters.
