Curb It | City of Boise

Boise's trash, recycling, compost and other solid waste program.

The Curb It program helps our community reduce, reuse, and manage waste through easy-to-use services, education, and programs that keep our city clean and sustainable.

The most effective way to manage waste is to create less of it in the first place. By reducing and reusing, we can make more mindful choices and keep valuable materials out of the landfill. Explore ways to Reduce and Reuse with simple tips and resources.

Curb It also supports Boise’s broader climate goals through Keep Boise Cool, showing how small, everyday actions can add up to a big impact. Start building your Climate Action Plan today.
