TKPOA 2022 Trash Program
By Heather Blumenthal, Operations Manager
On August 17th, 2022, the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) Board of Directors adopted a revised Architectural Control (ACC) rule that allows installation of Bear Boxes at single-family home properties within the Tahoe Keys.
Members interested in installing a Bear Box at their property must submit an application for pre-approval prior to installation to the Architectural Control Department (ACD), who will assist in ensuring the property owner is installing a South Tahoe Refuse serviceable Bear Box. Contact ACD Manager Linda Callahan, at lcallahan@tahoekeyspoa.org or (530) 5426444 ext. 239 with any questions.
Members interested in installing a bear box at their property should first contact South Tahoe Refuse (STR) at 530-541-5105 for a list of approved bear box vendors that STR will service. You can also visit their website for additional information on Bear Boxes at https://southtahoerefuse.com/.
With approval of Bear Boxes within the Tahoe Keys, the Board also approved removal of the Sunday Service Dumpsters located at the Water Company Building as of October 15th, 2022.
On October 15th, 2022, these dumpsters located at the Water Company Building in Mt. Tallac Village 2 will be removed and Sunday Service will no longer be available. The last Sunday Dumpster Service will be October 9th, 2022. It will be illegal to dump any trash within the Tahoe Keys unless within the individual property owner’s trash bins, installed bear box.
It will also be illegal to dump 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 South Tahoe Refuse 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. TKPOA Property Owners will need to plan when departing on Sunday, since STR will not be open, and they may need to plan to visit the dump on Saturday.
