Clean Tahoe Program

We address issues lake wide, with 4 full time field agents. Litter Removal
Clean Tahoe's two field crew members 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 agen

cies to remove visible litter and illegally-dumped articles from vacant lots and along roadside easements. Courtesy Notices
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. Community Cleanup Day
Early each summer, the Clean Tahoe Program, along with South Tahoe Refuse Company, sponsors a Community Cleanup Day. Residents can take refuse and bulk items to the Transfer Station for a minimal fee. The balance of the dumping fees are paid by the Program. The Program also helps sponsor a Cleanup Day each Memorial Day weekend in Tahoma on the West Shore. Community Education
The Clean Tahoe Program provides citizen education on causes of and solutions for litter problems, through articles in the print media, public service announcements on TV and radio, appearances at local events, and by presentations for schools and local service organizations.
