Recycling Center
The city of Boise has both residential and business recycling programs. Both offer a wide variety of services and by signing up you get a discount on your trash bill for both programs.
Commercial recycling is available to business organizations, as well as churches, schools, and more. Several service options are available for recycling. New and improved plastic recycling program guidelines make recycling even easier.
Each household that signs up for the residential program is provided with one blue bin. Residents sort their recyclable items every week into the blue bin and place it on the curb the normal day of trash pick-up. Plastic containers, jars, bottles, and cups numbered 1-7 and two gallons or less can be recycled. Please note that filmy plastic, plastic grocery bags, vinyl, and Styrofoam are not accepted.
If you have household chemicals, cleaning products, paint and automotive products, lawn and garden chemicals that you want to get rid of but don't know how safely dispose of them? Go to our Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program page for information.
