Bear Boxes available for Lake Tahoe customers of South Tahoe Refuse
Submitted by paula on Tue, 04/04/2017 - 1:42pm
South Tahoe Refuse is rolling out a Bear Box loan program for their customers living in both California and Nevada at Lake Tahoe, including South Lake Tahoe, El Dorado County and Douglas County customers.
Customers can purchase a box up to a value of $1,300 from approved vendors and repay the cost through a $65 increase in their quarterly refuse bill.
The program was developed to reduce animal intrusion into garbage cans left outside. Bears, raccoons, birds and other wildlife have become accustomed to getting into garbage which can lead up to their harm as well as unsightly trash spread through neighborhoods.
Contact STR at 530.541.5105 to apply.
