Recycling in Moscow: A Local Guide
Moscow, Idaho — home to the University of Idaho and Latah County's seat — has two distinct recycling facilities serving residents and businesses. The Moscow Recycling Center at 401 N Jackson St is the city's full-service drop-off for over 30 recyclable commodities, while Inland North Waste's Solid Waste Processing Facility at 3299 Hwy 8 handles bulk solid waste, free appliance and scrap metal drop-off, tires, and demolition debris. The two sites complement each other: Jackson Street handles paper, glass, and electronics; Highway 8 handles everything bigger.
The Moscow Recycling Center is open Tuesday–Saturday 9:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m. (closed Sunday–Monday) and accepts newspapers and mixed paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars in multiple colors, aluminum and tin cans, plastics (types vary — confirm on site), electronics including computers, monitors, and cell phones, rechargeable and car batteries, used motor oil, compact fluorescent lights, and scrap metals. A 24-hour outdoor drop box in the north Jackson Street parking lot allows after-hours drop-offs of select materials. Idaho law requires electronics to be recycled rather than landfilled, making this center Moscow's primary e-waste drop-off. The center also operates a buy-back program for certain commodities — call 208-882-0590 for current prices.
The Inland North Waste Solid Waste Processing Facility at 3299 Hwy 8 is open to all City of Moscow and Latah County residents and businesses — no residency card required. Summer hours (May–Oct) run Monday–Saturday 8:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m.; winter hours (Nov–Apr) shorten to 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., still Monday–Saturday. Scrap metal, residential appliances, clean wood, and brush drop off free of charge. Household solid waste is charged by weight ($105.34/ton, $10 minimum). Every Saturday during operating hours, the co-located Household Hazardous Waste Facility is open for HHW drop-off. The facility does not accept loose paper, plastics, or glass for recycling — take those to Jackson Street instead.
Moscow sits eight miles from Pullman, Washington, and both cities share the Palouse region's recycling resources. Other Idaho communities with recycling pages on this site include Lewiston to the northwest and Coeur d'Alene to the north. For a full statewide list, see the Idaho recycling hub.
