Frequently Asked Questions — Recycling in Caldwell
Does Caldwell, Idaho have curbside recycling?
Yes. The City of Caldwell runs curbside recycling through Republic Services, and the program is mandatory for residents. Recycling is collected every other week in a green cart, with trash in a brown cart. Cart sizes and billing are set through the city's utility service, so confirm your schedule and cart options with the city or Republic Services (208-345-1265).
What can go in the Caldwell recycling cart?
Based on program information, the green cart accepts materials such as metal and aluminum cans, empty aerosol cans, and clean foils and trays, while glass, soiled food containers (like greasy pizza boxes), black plastics, and plastic toys are not accepted. Accepted-item lists change, so check the city's current trash and recycling guide or ask Republic Services before sorting.
How do I dispose of old window glass in Caldwell?
Window glass, mirrors, and ceramics are different from container glass and are generally not accepted in household recycling. Caldwell's curbside program reportedly excludes glass from the green cart, so window glass should not go there. Confirm disposal options with the city or Republic Services; it typically goes to the landfill or a specialty handler rather than recycling.
Where can I recycle cars, tires, and phones in Caldwell?
For vehicles and used parts, Pick-A-Part Jalopy Jungle and American Redline Auto Parts are self-service auto recyclers. Tires can go to Tire Reclaim, and the ecoATM kiosk pays for eligible phones and small devices. Fees, payouts and accepted items vary, so confirm with each location.
