Free Defensible Space Cleanup / Yard Waste Drop–Off Events for Incline Village and Crystal Bay Residents

Spring cleanup time is right around the corner. Improve your property’s defensible space and get the yard waste recycled for free!  IVGID in partnership with Waste Management will be offering two defensible space cleanup / yard waste drop-off events for Incline Village & Crystal Bay residents this year.  The events are scheduled for  from 7:30 am to 2:00  pm, at the IVGID Public Works Facility at 1220 Sweetwater Road, Incline Village, NV.  The event will end promptly at 2 pm.

Residents can bring an unlimited amount of yard debris to these events, saving money on spring cleanup disposal costs and getting these woody materials recycled at the same time.

Proof of District residency (NV drivers’ license or IVGID recreation card) will be required to drop-off materials.  Customers will be responsible for unloading materials as directed by Waste Management personnel.  Please remember to tarp your load; lining a truck bed with a tarp will facilitate unloading. 

• Acceptable items: natural woody debris: pine needles, bark, pine cones, tree branches (under 4 inches diameter and 4 feet in length), brush, yard trimmings, dry grass and dead leaves. 
• Not accepted:  no garbage, no stumps, no construction debris, no nails, no dirt, rocks or soil, no commercial customers*. *Commercial entities will only be allowed to drop-off materials at the events if the property owner (whose residence generated the materials) accompanies the business truck to the drop site and presents valid identification.
