Truckee moves forward with waste service agreement transfer

TRUCKEE, Calif. — The Town of Truckee is moving forward with the proposed transfer of its solid waste franchise agreement from Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal to Recology, directing staff Tuesday, Nov. 10, to draft amendments to the agreement and a resolution authorizing the conditional assignment. The action follows a request submitted by Tahoe Truckee Disposal Co., Inc., doing business as Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal (TTSD), and Recology in July to transfer the existing agreement as part of Recology’s purchase of TTSD. The agreement, approved in 2017, took effect July 1, 2018, and is scheduled to expire June 30, 2028, unless extended. Under the franchise agreement, the town must consent to an assignment to a new party. Town Council authorized a review of the proposed transfer in August, contracting with HF&H Consultants to assess the assignment and determine whether it would serve the public health, safety and general welfare of Truckee.
