Recycling in Lewiston: A Local Guide
Lewiston lists four recycling-related facilities in our directory, serving different material streams across the Lewiston–Clarkston Valley — part of the wider Idaho recycling network. The clearest public option for most metals is Pacific Steel & Recycling at 604 12th Street North, a regional scrap metal chain that pays cash by weight for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, catalytic converters, aluminum, copper, brass, radiators, and whole vehicles. The yard is open Monday–Friday, 8 AM–4 PM, and also offers e-recycling at this location.
For cardboard disposal, Western Recyclers at 35 2nd Street offers a free community drop-off for flattened corrugated cardboard — the only accepted material at the public area. Boxes must be broken down and stripped of packing material. Hours are Monday–Thursday 7 AM–3:30 PM and Friday 7 AM–noon; closed weekends. The company primarily serves commercial accounts but maintains this free public cardboard drop-off.
Sutton Salvage at 29061 Old Spiral Highway is an auto salvage yard — best for vehicle parts and scrap metal inquiries rather than household recycling. Its website was unavailable at review time, so call 208-746-0221 to verify current services. Clearwater Composting at 3965 Industrial Way handles organic material processing; their website was also unreachable, so phone 208-413-6020 for current drop-off availability.
