SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - We ve seen the stories and photos of trash left behind by the large number of people spending time in the snow from Truckee to South Lake Tahoe. A growing problem is the people finding whatever patch of snow is available, normally in areas not previously used for snow play.
Controlling the trash has become an issue. Clean Tahoe, the South Lake Tahoe program tasked with keeping the community litter and trash free, hits whatever areas their staff can, but this means one person tackling the problem. The League to Save Lake Tahoe has its Blue Crew volunteer teams being training currently to get out to these winter hot spots, and other groups are out trying to remove what people should have taken with them when heading home.
