Boise regulates trash bin storage and placement through its property maintenance standards. Republic Services provides curbside garbage collection for Boise residents. Bins must be placed at the curb on collection day and returned to storage promptly after pickup.
Trash bins should be placed at the curb no earlier than the evening before collection day and returned to a storage location not visible from the street within 24 hours of pickup. Bins must be placed with lids closed and should not block sidewalks, driveways, or bike lanes. Republic Services provides 35-gallon, 65-gallon, and 95-gallon cart options. Overflowing bins or loose trash around containers may trigger code enforcement. Bins should be stored behind the front building line or screened from public view when not at the curb.
Bins left at the curb beyond the allowed period may receive code enforcement notices. Overflowing trash or unsightly bin storage visible from the street can result in property maintenance violations. Repeated violations may lead to fines.
