COURTESY NOTICE

We remind businesses, rental managers, local residents and off-site property owners of City and County litter ordinances by issuing Courtesy Notices when violations are observed or reported. Copies of these notices are posted on the property and mailed to owners. Clean Tahoe re-inspects the property in 10 days, and, if needed, refers the problem to the appropriate jurisdiction for further enforcement.

LITTER REMOVAL

Our Response Team Drivers follow regularly scheduled routes to remove litter from roadways and neighborhoods, assisted by volunteers and El Dorado County Sheriff's Department Work Release crews as available. The Clean Tahoe Program responds to citizen complaints, and works in conjunction with City and County agencies to remove visible litter and illegally dumped articles from vacant lots and along roadside easements.

THE LITTER CODES

• Refuse collection service is mandatory for all improved premises

•Each residence must have one or more 32-gallon trash receptacles, with tight fitting, water tight lids and no holes. Plastic bags shall be used for yard waste only.

• Receptacles, plastic bags and refuse shall not be readily visible from public health
