Food Scrap Drop Off Registration

Thank you for your interest in participating in the City of Boise’s Food Scrap Drop Off Program!

If you live in an apartment, condo or another multi-family dwelling without curbside compost pickup, you may collect food scraps at home and deliver them to a drop-off location. Accepted materials and drop-off location addresses, hours and parking are listed on the main program webpage.

Once you submit the registration form below, you’ll receive an email with the code to unlock the drop-off bins and additional program information.

You will also receive monthly emails with program information and food waste prevention tips.

If you have any questions, please contact the Curb It team at curbit@cityofboise.org or 208-608-7136.
