A new digital tracking system is now available to track your free yard waste drop-off at Eastern Regional Landfill! Truckee residents can drop-off six yards of green waste for FREE at Eastern Regional Landfill. This new online portal will replace the physical punch card system and make it easy to track the number of yards used from your six cubic yard allotment. Plus, you can easily generate a QR code to transfer yards to a landscaper or friend, or use a QR code yourself to skip in-person proof of residency.

Proof of residency (e.g., utility bill and ID) is still accepted at Eastern Regional Landfill for free drop-off participation.
