Will the city take it?
Boise runs a three-cart curbside program through Republic Services and adds an on-request large item collection for the pieces that will not fit a cart. Televisions and household hazardous waste travel a separate county route, and tires go to the Ada County Landfill.

Televisions are treated as hazardous and electronic waste rather than trash. Flat screens go to the household hazardous waste sites or the county landfill recovery area, and smaller tube sets carry a two-set limit at mobile sites.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Boise residents using the mobile household hazardous waste collection sites, or any resident dropping at the Ada County Landfill hazardous waste facility on Fridays and Saturdays; mobile sites are limited to small loads of about 25 items.

City cost & eligibility
The city does not publish a separate large item price on the pages reviewed here, so confirm the pickup charge and any item limit with Republic Services before the load goes out.

When & how
Request the collection by phone, then set the machine out on the agreed day.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no curbside renovation rate. Landfill loads are weighed at the gate and priced by material, so confirm the current disposal cost before hauling.
When & how
Bag or contain small project material for the regular trash collection, and plan a landfill trip for anything larger during gate hours.
Get it ready
Put nails and similar small sharp items in a closed container before they go in the trash. Keep concrete, asphalt, bricks and pavers out of the trash cart, and deliver them clean to the landfill Recovery and Diversion Area, because a load containing trash, dirt or metal may be rejected.

City cost & eligibility

Leaves, weeds, grass cuttings and tree trimmings are accepted, but weeds sprayed with pesticides must go in the trash.
Clean cardboard is a recycling cart material, while wet, soiled or coated board changes cart rather than leaving the system.

When & how

Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
Paint, chemicals, automotive fluids and electronic waste
Cost & conditions
No charge. Residents dropping material at the Ada County Landfill hazardous waste facility on Fridays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; businesses that qualify as very small quantity generators pay a fee and must book by appointment.
Arrange it
Drive to the landfill at 10300 N. Seaman's Gulch Rd. and stop at the hazardous waste facility. Larger loads and clean-out loads must come here rather than to a mobile site.
Mobile sites take small loads of about 25 items and are for residents only. Stay in your vehicle at the site and expect a wait around opening and before closing.
Brass, copper, steel, cast iron, radiators, catalytic converters and similar metal
Cost & conditions
The city directs scrap metal to a local steel recycling center without naming one and publishes no prices, so confirm hours, accepted grades and whether the yard pays for material.
Arrange it
Sort the metal by type and take it to a steel recycling yard during business hours. The city lists the materials it expects a yard to take.
The city does not name a specific yard on its sorting page, so the receiving business sets its own limits, preparation rules and pricing.

A drop is limited to 12 tires of any size unless more is approved by phone, and large tractor tires also need approval. The recovery area takes clean concrete and asphalt only; a load containing trash, dirt or metal may be rejected.
Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Landfill loads are weighed at the gate and priced by material, so confirm the current cost for your load. Tires are charged per tire, with the rate rising on October 1, 2026.
