Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association – 2022 Trash Program Starting Monday May 2nd, 2022, the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) will no longer offer Trash Dumpsters at the TKPOA Pavilion located 356 Ala Wai Boulevard. Based on the 2022 Board of Directors unanimously approved motion during the 2022 Annual Budget approvals, the TKPOA Staff have been directed to remove Trash Dumpster service from the Pavilion at the March 16th, 2022 Regular Open Session – Board of Directors Meeting. The reason for this change is the rising cost of trash service for the TKPOA and the City of South Lake Tahoe Residents, the forecasted costs for the 2022 Annual Budget is $134,400 for the year. Or in other terms, $87.95 per TKPOA Property Owners per year or $21.99 per quarter. Keep in mind all TKPOA Property Owners already are required to pay South Tahoe Refuse & Recycling Service (STR) for weekly residential trash service, so in a sense they are double paying for this service and may not be even using the TKPOA Pavilion dumpsters. The STR Transfer Station located at 2140 Ruth Avenue is open Monday through Saturday from 8:00AM-5:00PM for TKPOA Property Owners and City of South Lake Tahoe residents to deposit trash. The STR Transfer Station is not open on Sundays, unlike many other mountain communities transfer stations like Incline Village and Mammoth Lakes. With that said, STR is working toward opening on Sundays and offering a new updated trash service, in the future. All TKPOA Property Owners are rate paying customers of STR have the ability to deposit residential trash at this transfer station Monday through Saturday from 8:00AM5:00PM. TKPOA Property Owners will need to plan ahead when departing on Sundays, since STR will not be open, and they may need to plan to visit the dump on Saturday and/or take home their remaining trash. The reasons for this change are multiple:
1. To reduce and manage the Trash Expense in the
Common Assessment for all TKPOA Property Owners 2. To better utilize the STR Residential Trash Service at the Transfer Station, that the TKPOA Property Owners are already paying for as rate payers. Keys Breeze

3. To prohibit trash dumping by Non Members of the TKPOA in TKPOA owned dumpsters.
4. To improve trash management for the TKPOA
community and provide a safer environment for wildlife.
Starting Monday May 2nd,2022, it will be illegal to dump any trash at the TKPOA Pavilion, there will be no dumpsters located on the property. Any persons dumping trash will be prosecuted for illegal dumping on this property through the City of South (CSLT) Lake Tahoe Police Department - City Code: Chapter 4.150 Refuse and Garage: Ord. 409 § 1; Ord. 921 § 1. Code 1997 § 23-26. Based on surveillance camera footage and security reports those persons illegally dumping at the TKPOA Pavilion property at 356 Ala Wai Boulevard or other TKPOA property, will be prosecuted for this action. The TKPOA will be installing new Security Cameras at the Pavilion along with signage to inform TKPOA Property Owners that illegal dumping will result in prosecution. It is also illegal to dump trash at the TKPOA Cove/Townhome properties unless you are an actual Property Owner of the corresponding Cove/ Townhome. The Cove/Townhome properties already have rules, signage and in some cases security cameras in place to prosecute illegal dumping. There is a $500 fine that can be enforced by the TKPOA as well as the CSLT Ordinance for unauthorized dumping on private property. The TKPOA Board of Directors and TKPOA Staff would like to thank all TKPOA Property Owners in advance for their cooperation and consideration in this important change in our community trash management program, to make the Tahoe Keys a safe and clean community. For Additional Information: Any additional questions can be answered by contacting the TKPOA Front Desk at 530-542-6444 Monday through Friday 8:30AM - 4:30PM, Saturday and Sunday 10:00AM - 2:00PM.
