Commercial Services

We are pleased to offer a variety of containers and services to our commercial customers.

All containers must be available for service by 5:00

a.m. on the scheduled pick up day.

South Tahoe Refuse & Recycling services the canyon every

Monday (Summertime only) and Wednesday (year-round)

Containers available range in sizes of 1 cubic yard, 2 cubic yards, and 6 cubic yards. Containers may have the following features:

Wheels

Suggested where the container will need to be moved for loading or service by the co-workers.

For safety and serviceability, wheeled containers must be placed on a level paved surface.

Skids

Suggested where the container will be placed on a sloped surface or will not be required to move for loading or access.

For safety and serviceability, skidded containers must be placed on a hard, level surface.

Lid styles range from plastic to bear-resistant.

A "locking" bar with a quick clip are installed on almost all containers.

If you choose to use a lock, it is your responsibility to make certain it is unlocked and ready for service by 5 a.m. on the scheduled pickup day.

It is the customer's responsibility to make certain

the container is available for pick-up.

Do not park cars in front of, near, or in the path of the container and/or enclosures. ◦Containers with wheels are sometimes unpredictable and may shift suddenly.

During the winter months, Snow and ice must be removed from all sides, top, and the path to the container.

Please try to make the access approximately 50 feet long and 12 feet wide so that the drivers have room to maneuver into your container access without damaging anything.

Enclosure doors/gates must be clear of cars, snow & ice, and any other obstacles. They must open beyond 90 degrees to avoid damage to them.

It is understood that these conditions are not always within your control and our drivers will do their best to complete your service as contracted.

However, repeated trips due to containers not being available as described above will be subject to service charges.

Returning repeatedly increases fuel, time and maintenance costs as well as related environmental impact.

Be advised that when severe winter conditions are present, there are times that the co-workers will not be able to move the container by hand.

It is the driver's discretion to use a tow chain to pull out the container for access

If this is done, after emptying the container, the driver will leave your container in a safe location on your property and return it to it's normal location when the snow and ice have been removed.
