Plan your drop-off

Dumps & landfills in Idaho

Idaho dumps are mostly run by counties, and many take only that county's residents, often with a surcharge or ban on out-of-county waste. Fees run from free household drop-off in some rural counties to about $34 per ton at the Ada County Landfill. Large counties (Ada, Canyon, Kootenai, Bannock, Bingham) are checked against official county pages; Twin Falls and the Southern Idaho Solid Waste sites could not be read.

State rules to know

Waste tires

Idaho law bars hauling waste tires to any site that is not an approved tire storage or disposal site. Storing 200 or more on-road tires needs county approval and a bond. Ask your local landfill whether it takes tires and what limit applies. Off-road and farm tires are not counted as waste tires. Official rule ↗

Household waste

Idaho counties must make sure residents have household waste disposal options, usually through a transfer station that sends waste to an authorized landfill. Household hazardous waste is exempt from hazardous-waste rules, but DEQ urges proper disposal. Official rule ↗

Electronics

Many Idaho county landfills collect TVs, computers and other electronics separately for recycling; there is no statewide drop-off network, so check with your county solid waste department. Official rule ↗

Burning trash

Household trash, including plastics, metals, cardboard, newsprint and packaging, may not be burned outdoors in Idaho. Official rule ↗

Idaho has few permanent household hazardous waste sites. Ada County runs a free facility Fri-Sat for residents, Kootenai has free residents-only sites, and Canyon, Bannock and Bonneville hold scheduled collection events. Check your county before you go.
