Twin Falls, ID Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

Bulk and large-item disposal in the City of Twin Falls is defined by exclusion. In the definitions section of the garbage chapter, § 7-3-2, the term ITEMS EXCLUDED FROM CITY COLLECTION covers discarded household furnishings, dirt or earth debris from construction or lawn renovation, rocks, stones, automobile bodies and parts, dead animals, manure, and building materials such as mortar, plaster, scrap lumber and wood shavings. The code assigns the job to the building contractor, owner or occupant of the premises, who must collect and dispose of those items.

Items that do qualify for collection carry size and weight caps. Section 7-3-4 requires tree trunks, large limbs and similar heavy objects to be cut or knocked down to no more than six feet in length and fifty pounds in weight. Section 7-3-5 limits containers to fifty pounds when filled, with plastic bags at thirty five pounds. Dead animals have their own rule in § 7-1-3(A): the owner or person in charge must immediately remove the body to the place provided for disposition of carcasses, and § 7-1-3(B) requires a durably made receptacle, bin or vault for manure and animal refuse.

Section 7-3-3 bars depositing or burying garbage or rubbish in or upon a public street, alley, other public area or the premises of another person, and § 7-1-16 bars willfully or negligently depositing debris, boards, trash or other waste substances on property the owner has not authorized. Under § 7-3-8 the Twin Falls City Council can provide collection as a city function or by contract, and § 7-3-10 requires all garbage collected within the city by independent collectors to be deposited at the transfer station at 2186 Orchard Drive East, Twin Falls, Idaho. Section 7-3-9 sets collection schedules for garbage and rubbish.
