SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Originally planned for June, then postponed to September, the popular $5 Dump Day in South Lake Tahoe has been canceledfor 2020.
Organizers will return in 2021 with both spring and fall dump events planned. They said the dump days rely heavily on personal contact, and with the socially distancing requirements to keep COVID-19 at bay, they decided there was no way to hold one at this time.

Opinion: Clean up South Lake Tahoe
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 06/16/2017 - 9:26am
Littering in Tahoe is a big problem. Everywhere you go, there is trash and no one picks it up. People don't throw their trash in the garbage; they leave their trash on the ground and it makes its way into the lake. Other people who pass by it don't pick it up either. The problem started with the tourists who come to the beaches and throw their trash anywhere and they think that it won’t do anything to our lake. Tourists don’t take care of nature and our lake as much as the locals here. Some locals leave their trash everywhere as well.
