Truckee's amended solid waste ordinance requires animal-resistant bin enclosures (bear boxes), prohibits placing trash at the curb before 5:00 AM on collection day, and fines up to $1,000 for repeat violations.
The Town's amended solid waste ordinance requires property owners to maintain an animal-resistant bin enclosure. Approved bear boxes must be metal, stone, brick, concrete, or equivalent; have a front-facing door; fit two 32-gallon cans; have a snow-shedding roof; and be secured with plunging pins on the top and bottom locking mechanism. Trash cannot be set out before 5:00 AM on the day of collection unless stored in an approved bear shed. Truckee STR Ordinance Chapter 5.02 separately requires every STR to have a bear box and weekly two-bin garbage service.
First verified trash complaint generates a warning letter; the second verified offense within a 12-month period triggers a $235 administrative fine, escalating up to $1,000 for repeat violations.
