On behalf of Northstar homeowners, NCSD negotiates an annual agreement with Tahoe-Truckee Sierra Disposal (TTSD) who provides weekly curbside household solid waste pickup service within the District. Please visit the Tahoe-Truckee Sierra Disposal Website for further information on pickup times, other solid waste programs and general information about the Materials Recovery Facility on Cabin Creek Road in Truckee. | ||
- Weekly residential services are provided on Mondays to Northstar customers. | ||
- Household waste & recycling must be accessible by 6 am for collection, collection occurs on the scheduled dates regardless of holiday. | ||
- Up to twenty-six 32-Gallon cans or bags are included in base service per quarter. Additional cans/bags will be collected for additional fees, to be invoiced directly to the property owner. | ||
- Household trash & recycling only; no hazardous, construction, medical, liquid, or green waste. | ||
- Bear box locations exceeding 25 feet from curbside will require additional trip fees to access. | ||
- Make sure your garbage is visible and easily accessible for the TTSD drivers. Any cans placed further than the allotted 20 feet will be assessed as an additional trip fee. | ||
- Cans must be manufactured for manual collection. No rolling totes or fixed lids, 32-Gallon maximum. For TTSD employee safety, they do not service fixed-lid rolling containers used for mixed solid waste. Cans must be intended for manual dumping, most wheeled carts require mechanical lifting and will not be serviced. | ||
- Cans should have tight-fitting lids that are not screw top. They do not service the screw-top “bear resistant” cans or attached-lid trash cans. | ||
- Individual cans, bags, or containers must not exceed 32 gallons in volume. Weight restrictions apply. An additional can for ash counts as extra/overage. | ||
- Northstar residents also have access to the shared Northstar Drive Dumpster Site. | ||
- Active Placer County residential customers in good standing, are eligible for free collection of up to two oversized items per fiscal year. | ||
- Bear boxes are recommended for wildlife resistance. TTSD clean-up efforts for garbage messes will incur a charge. | ||
- Maintain clear access to garbage containers and enclosures. Clear all snow and ice. Door(s) must have ample space to open fully. | ||
Northstar Drive Dumpster Site | ||
| Additional solid waste and recycling dumpsters are available at the Northstar Drive Dumpster Site for use by Northstar single-family and townhome solid waste customers. Located on the southern side of Northstar Drive across from the old Sawmill Flat Road (near the intersection of Basque) customers can access the site daily between 7am - 8pm. Do not throw hazardous material, appliances, furniture, yard debris or materials other than normal household garbage into the dumpsters. If you require additional information or assistance visit the NCSD Customer Service Portal. | ||
HELP TO PROTECT THE LOCAL WILDLIFE & ENVIRONMENT BY ENSURING ALL HOUSEHOLD WASTE IS INSIDE OF THE DUMPSTER & THE LOCKING MECHANISM IS SECURED!!! | ||
 | ||
WHEN A DUMPSTER ISN'T SECURED PROPERLY, WILDLIFE GAINS ACCESS TO THE GARBAGE WITHIN; CONTAMINATING THE ENVIRONMENT AND HARMING THEMSELVES BY INGESTING NON-ORGANIC MATERIALS THAT ARE COMINGLED WITH YOUR FOOD WASTE. |
