Garbage Dump ServiceRecycling CenterWaste Management Service
With the primary purpose of protecting the natural beauty of Tahoe, proper solid waste practices are our priority. South Tahoe Refuse has followed this path going forward by opening the Materials Recovery Center, Resource Recovery Center, and other waste reduction programs to divert 63% of solid waste going to landfills. We are proud to serve the City of South Lake Tahoe, El Dorado County, and Douglas County Nevada.
They dont actually collect the garbage so much as spread it all-over our streets. Petra who answers the phone is not at all interested in helping, she mostly just blames you for the trash collectors not doing their job.

I honestly don’t know how anyone could have a difficult experience with our refuse company here in South Lake Tahoe—they’re simply the best. Every time I visit, the team is polite, friendly, helpful, and just genuinely great people. You can tell they enjoy working with each other and take pride in serving the public. Having worked with the public myself for over 20 years, I truly appreciate that kind of professionalism. Special thanks to Patty Alexander—she absolutely deserves recognition for all she does with the dumpsters. Thank you, Patty, and thank you to everyone at STR for your continued service to our community.
