Recycling in Idaho Falls: A Local Guide
Idaho Falls has 11 recycling centers in this directory, from scrap-metal yards and an auto dismantler to an electronics recycler, a toner-cartridge store and phone trade-in kiosks. The way household recycling works here changed in 2024: effective January 16, 2024, the City of Idaho Falls Sanitation Division stopped hauling mixed recyclables and now accepts only glass at its drop-off locations, citing rising processing costs. Curbside recycling is instead available privately through Western Recycling, which provides a rolling 95-gallon cart serviced every other week for a monthly fee. For listings elsewhere in the state, browse the full Idaho recycling directory.
Among the centers below, one is verified in our data as accepting cardboard and paper plus scrap metal from the public: Western Recycling of Idaho Falls, which is also the operator of the city's private curbside cart. For metals, Pacific Recycling and Millcreek Metals are scrap buyers, while Big D Pick & Pull and Intermountain Auto Recycling handle end-of-life vehicles. For electronics, E Cyclers of Idaho focuses on devices and EcoATM buys used phones. Check each center's page to confirm accepted items and any fees.
