Boise provides curbside trash and recycling collection through a contract with Republic Services. Collection occurs weekly on a designated schedule. The city's trash and recycling program is managed by the Public Works Department.
Republic Services provides weekly curbside collection of garbage and recyclables for Boise residents. Carts must be placed at the curb by 6 AM on collection day with handles facing the house and lids closed. Carts should be 3 feet apart and away from obstacles like mailboxes and parked cars. Trash must be contained in the provided cart with the lid fully closed. Extra bags outside the cart may not be collected. Holiday collection schedules may be shifted by one day. The city provides options for 35, 65, or 95-gallon carts.
Overflowing carts with lids that cannot close may not be collected. Carts left at the curb beyond the allowed time may receive code enforcement notices. Placing prohibited items in carts (hazardous waste, electronics) can result in collection refusal.
