City collection Furniture is not collected from the kerb in Idaho Falls, because the city code says the city has no duty to remove items that are not inside a city container. The Bonneville County Transfer Station names furniture among the waste it accepts. The county prints its per load fees under a heading for in-county commercial waste and publishes no separate resident rate for a furniture load, so confirm the charge at the scale on 208-528-5550. Hauling furniture through the city's own container programme is priced on the sanitation fee schedule instead.
City collection A mattress is not a curbside item in Idaho Falls, and the county's inert debris site refuses it outright. The Bonneville County Transfer Station accepts mattresses and carpet alongside household garbage. No mattress rate is published by the city, and the county prints its per load fees only under a heading for in-county commercial waste, so confirm the charge at the transfer station on 208-528-5550 before the trip. The Hatch Pit refuses mattresses, so the load cannot be taken there.
City collection The city code names appliances and white goods in the list of waste it has no duty to remove, so a washer, dryer or refrigerator does not go on the kerb. The Bonneville County Transfer Station accepts appliances, with published per item fees for anything holding refrigerant. The transfer station publishes per item fees of 15 dollars for a small refrigerant item and 20 dollars for a large one, while a machine without refrigerant is charged as part of the load under a fee table headed for in-county commercial waste. Confirm the charge for the specific machine on 208-528-5550, and note that the city itself collects no appliance.
City collection The city collects waste only from its own containers, and the code says it has no duty to remove large or heavy items set out loose or outside a city container. A household cleanout therefore goes to the Bonneville County Transfer Station, which accepts household garbage, furniture, mattresses, carpet, bulky metal items and appliances. The county publishes its per load fees under a heading for in-county commercial waste and prints no separate resident rate for a household load, so confirm the charge for the load at the transfer station desk on 208-528-5550 before hauling it.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Idaho Falls runs its own Sanitation Division, and the city code draws a firm line around what the truck will take: waste has to be inside a city container, and the city has no duty to pick up construction debris, appliances, large or heavy machines, tree trunks, hazardous material or anything set out loose. That means big household items travel to the Bonneville County Transfer Station at 2455 Hemmert Ave, which names furniture, mattresses, carpet, bulky metal items and appliances among the things it accepts and publishes per item fees for anything holding refrigerant and per size fees for tires. Renovation material goes to the county Hatch Pit on N Recycle Rd, an inert debris site that takes concrete, brick, drywall, soil, wood and flattened cardboard, requires demolition loads to arrive with abatement paperwork showing no asbestos, and refuses anything with fabric in it. The city's own container programme is the local answer for volume: a larger cart, a 1.5 or 3 cubic yard container, or a 30 yard roll-off that can be ordered for household waste or for separated construction debris. Cardboard is the recycled stream the city left behind when it stopped accepting recycling other than glass in January 2024, so flattened boxes go to the Hatch Pit or into a business cardboard container from Western Recycling.
The city collects waste only from its own containers, and the code says it has no duty to remove large or heavy items set out loose or outside a city container. A household cleanout therefore goes to the Bonneville County Transfer Station, which accepts household garbage, furniture, mattresses, carpet, bulky metal items and appliances.
City cost & eligibility
The county publishes its per load fees under a heading for in-county commercial waste and prints no separate resident rate for a household load, so confirm the charge for the load at the transfer station desk on 208-528-5550 before hauling it. The city's own container programme is priced separately on the sanitation fee schedule.
When & how
The Transfer Station at 2455 Hemmert Ave is open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and closed on Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. The city's containers are emptied on the household's regular collection day.
Get it ready
Keep bulk items out of the city cart and off the kerb, because the city will not collect loose material, and take the load to the county site instead. Cover and secure anything in an open trailer, and bring proof of residency if the vehicle is registered outside Bonneville County.
Furniture is not collected from the kerb in Idaho Falls, because the city code says the city has no duty to remove items that are not inside a city container. The Bonneville County Transfer Station names furniture among the waste it accepts.
City cost & eligibility
The county prints its per load fees under a heading for in-county commercial waste and publishes no separate resident rate for a furniture load, so confirm the charge at the scale on 208-528-5550. Hauling furniture through the city's own container programme is priced on the sanitation fee schedule instead.
When & how
Take the furniture to 2455 Hemmert Ave during the Transfer Station's open hours, Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and avoid the six named closure days.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the city cart and off the kerb, remove cushions and anything loose so the load is easy to handle, and keep fabric covered in transit because the county may inspect the load.
A mattress is not a curbside item in Idaho Falls, and the county's inert debris site refuses it outright. The Bonneville County Transfer Station accepts mattresses and carpet alongside household garbage.
City cost & eligibility
No mattress rate is published by the city, and the county prints its per load fees only under a heading for in-county commercial waste, so confirm the charge at the transfer station on 208-528-5550 before the trip. The Hatch Pit refuses mattresses, so the load cannot be taken there.
When & how
Take the mattress to the Transfer Station at 2455 Hemmert Ave, open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Do not take it to the Hatch Pit, which refuses mattresses in its published refusal list.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the rain, and take the frame separately because the county lists furniture and bulky metal as their own accepted items. A mattress must never go on the kerb, because the city collects only what is inside a city container.
The city code names appliances and white goods in the list of waste it has no duty to remove, so a washer, dryer or refrigerator does not go on the kerb. The Bonneville County Transfer Station accepts appliances, with published per item fees for anything holding refrigerant.
City cost & eligibility
The transfer station publishes per item fees of 15 dollars for a small refrigerant item and 20 dollars for a large one, while a machine without refrigerant is charged as part of the load under a fee table headed for in-county commercial waste. Confirm the charge for the specific machine on 208-528-5550, and note that the city itself collects no appliance.
When & how
Haul the appliance to 2455 Hemmert Ave, open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Motor oil and antifreeze, by contrast, are taken there only on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with personnel on hand.
Get it ready
Empty the machine and keep it upright, and say at the desk whether it holds refrigerant, because those items are charged separately and the Hatch Pit sends refrigerant equipment back to the Transfer Station. Lithium-ion batteries are refused, so remove any battery pack before the trip.
Yard trimmings have their own allowance in the city code: grass, leaves, weeds and clippings no longer than four feet may go into cardboard cartons, baskets, boxes or strong plastic sacks that are securely closed, and the city will take those non-standard containers as long as each one stays under 50 pounds. The city also runs a curbside leaf collection each autumn.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the city sanitation service for a household that follows the container rules, with no separate charge published for yard trimmings or the autumn leaf collection. Drop-off loads at the county sites carry their own fees, and the county publishes a 20 dollar per ton charge for commercial grass and leaf loads.
When & how
Yard material goes out with the regular collection day, with the containers at the kerb before 7 a.m. The autumn leaf collection is a separate programme, and the city's published leaf schedule at the time of this review still showed the 2025 season, so ask the division for the current dates.
Get it ready
Keep each sack, carton or basket closed, under 50 pounds, and free of trash, and keep branches cut to four feet or less. Do not put yard material in a black bag or mix it with household waste, because the city collects only its own containers and the closed non-standard containers the code allows.
Tires are not a city collection stream. Bonneville County takes them at the Transfer Station with a published fee for each size, and the Hatch Pit refuses them, while Idaho law requires waste tires to go to an approved site.
City cost & eligibility
From $3 per tire at the Bonneville County Transfer Station, beginning at 3 dollars for a motorcycle tire and rising to 5 dollars for an automobile, light truck or UTV tire up to 19.5 inches, 20 dollars for a semi truck tire from 19.5 to 24.5 inches and 50 dollars for a farm implement tire from 25 to 50 inches, with bulk disposal at 500 dollars per ton. Waste tires brought to the Transfer Station at 2455 Hemmert Ave, with or without the rim, and no earth moving equipment or tracks. Proof of residency is required when the vehicle is registered outside Bonneville County.
When & how
The Transfer Station takes tires during its open hours, Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Take tires there rather than to the Hatch Pit, which lists tires among the material it refuses.
Get it ready
Count the tires and note the sizes before the trip, because the fee changes with each size band, and keep off-road and farm tires separate because Idaho's waste tire definition excludes them even though the county publishes a farm implement fee line. Keep the stack small on your own property, because Idaho limits how many tires may be stored at one site.
Cardboard is not in the city programme: since January 16, 2024 the city has accepted no recycling other than glass. Flattened boxes can go into a sorted load at the Hatch Pit, and a business cardboard container or baled pickup comes from Western Recycling.
City cost & eligibility
The Hatch Pit charges by vehicle and by whether the load is sorted, with a pickup or small trailer under eight feet at 10 dollars sorted and 50 dollars unsorted, and Western Recycling quotes its business cardboard container by location and frequency. Confirm the route and the price with the county on 208-528-5550 or the recycler on 208-529-9908.
When & how
The Hatch Pit at 3690 N Recycle Rd is open Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in summer from the third Monday in April and from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in winter from the Tuesday after Columbus Day, and it is closed on federal holidays. Western Recycling's office is open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Get it ready
Break every box down flat, keep cardboard separate from the rest of the load if you want the sorted fee, and keep it out of the city cart, because the city takes only glass for recycling and mixed household waste belongs in the container.
Metal is accepted at both county sites. The Transfer Station lists bulky metal items, and the Hatch Pit takes metal of all kinds except items containing refrigerant, which it sends to the Transfer Station.
City cost & eligibility
The Hatch Pit charges metal loads by vehicle and sorted status, starting at 10 dollars for a sorted pickup or small trailer under eight feet and 50 dollars unsorted, and the Transfer Station prints its per load fees only under a heading for in-county commercial waste. Confirm which site and price fits the load on 208-528-5550.
When & how
The Transfer Station at 2455 Hemmert Ave is open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and the Hatch Pit at 3690 N Recycle Rd keeps the seasonal hours above. Sort metal from wood, cardboard and inert material to qualify for the lower sorted fee.
Get it ready
Keep refrigerant appliances out of a scrap metal load at the Hatch Pit, because those go to the Transfer Station, and separate metal from the rest of the load so the sorted fee applies. The city will not take scrap metal from the kerb, because it is not part of the container programme.
The city code names construction, renovation and demolition debris first in the list of waste it has no duty to remove. Renovation material goes to the Bonneville County Hatch Pit, which takes concrete, brick, drywall, soil, wood and inert material, and which requires abatement paperwork showing no asbestos before any demolition load arrives.
City cost & eligibility
From $10 for sorted load fee for a pickup or small trailer under eight feet at the Bonneville County Hatch Pit, rising to 50 dollars for the same load unsorted and higher by vehicle size, as published effective September 1, 2025. Bonneville County loads, with out-of-county loads charged more, clean raw wood, tree limbs and branches that can be ground for reuse carrying no fee, and inert material loads of concrete, concrete with rebar or large rock charged at 150 dollars per load for a ten wheeler or larger in county. City 30 yard roll-offs for sorted construction debris are priced separately on the sanitation fee schedule.
When & how
The Hatch Pit is open Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in summer from the third Monday in April and from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in winter from the Tuesday after Columbus Day, closed on federal holidays. The city's own roll-off service runs on its own collection schedule.
Get it ready
Sort the load into wood by type, metal, inert material such as concrete and rock, and other construction debris such as sheetrock, siding, insulation and shingles, because an unsorted load is charged the higher rate. Bring abatement paperwork showing no asbestos for any demolition material, keep household garbage and anything containing fabric out of the load, and call before delivery if the project runs to more than five loads.
Containers go out before seven with room around them
City containers go to the kerb before 7 a.m. on the collection day, as close to the kerb as possible and at least three feet from any obstruction such as a mailbox, tree, shrub, building overhang or utility pole, with at least 14 feet of clear space overhead. Empty containers come back in as soon as practical after collection, and the container has to stay with the address it was issued to.
Yard trimmings ride in closed containers under fifty pounds
Grass, leaves, weeds and clippings no longer than four feet may be placed in cardboard cartons, bushel baskets, boxes or strong plastic sacks that are securely closed, and the city collects those non-standard containers as long as each one weighs no more than 50 pounds. Every other material has to be inside a city-provided container, so bagged household trash beside the cart is not part of the service.
The city leaves large items and renovation debris to the county
The city has no duty to remove dirt, earth or debris from construction, renovation or demolition, appliances and white goods, large or heavy machines, tree trunks, hazardous waste and waste oils, dead animals, or any waste that is not inside a city-provided container. Those loads go to the Bonneville County Transfer Station at 2455 Hemmert Ave or the Hatch Pit on N Recycle Rd, and the city code also bars private businesses from hauling or disposing of waste for profit inside the city, apart from licensed recycling businesses.
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.

City of Idaho Falls Sanitation Division with Bonneville County solid waste facilities
Order a bigger city container or a roll-off
A household with more waste than the 95 gallon cart holds, or a project that needs a 30 yard box.
Cost & conditions
From $42.72 for monthly rate for a 1.5 cubic yard city container with one pickup a week, with the same container billed up to 106.44 dollars a month for seven pickups a week, the 3.0 cubic yard container from 52.20 to 139.80 dollars a month, and 30 yard roll-offs at a 35.70 dollar monthly fee plus a per dump haul fee of 141.75 dollars for household waste only, 164.85 dollars for sorted construction debris, 164.85 dollars for unsorted construction debris and 306.85 dollars for a mixed load.

Arrange it
Call the Sanitation Division on 208-612-8250 to set up the extra container or the roll-off and to agree the collection schedule.
The roll-off is ordered by load type, so household waste, sorted construction debris and an unsorted or mixed load each carry different haul and county fees. The city code bars private businesses from hauling waste for profit inside the city, so this is the container route inside town.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Do my items need to be outside when I book?+
You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.
Where do bulky household items go in Idaho Falls?+
To the Bonneville County Transfer Station at 2455 Hemmert Ave, open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The city code says the city has no duty to remove large or heavy items, appliances or anything outside a city container, so a cleanout does not go on the kerb. The county accepts household garbage, furniture, mattresses, carpet and carpet pad, bulky metal items and appliances, and it may inspect and reject any load.Official guidance
Will the city pick up a couch from the kerb?+
No. The city code states that the city has no duty to remove waste that is not contained in a city-provided container, and it names large or heavy items in the same exception list, so a couch does not go on the kerb. The Bonneville County Transfer Station accepts furniture, so the practical route is a self haul to 2455 Hemmert Ave, open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.Official guidance
Can a washer or dryer go out with the trash?+
No. Idaho Falls City Code names appliances including white goods among the waste the city has no duty to remove, and it requires waste to be inside a city-provided container. Take the machine to the Bonneville County Transfer Station at 2455 Hemmert Ave instead, where appliances are accepted and anything holding refrigerant carries a published per item fee that the county sets separately for small and large units.Official guidance
What does it cost to get rid of tires in Idaho Falls?+
Bonneville County charges by tire size at the Transfer Station, from the motorcycle rate up through automobile, light truck or UTV tires up to 19.5 inches, semi truck tires from 19.5 to 24.5 inches and farm implement tires from 25 to 50 inches, with a separate per ton rate for bulk disposal. The full scale is published on the county's tire fee table, and no earth moving equipment or tracks are accepted. Rims may stay on. Idaho law requires waste tires to go to an approved site, limits how many may be stored at one property and sets an illegal dumping penalty for each tire.Official guidance
Where can I take cardboard in Idaho Falls?+
The city stopped accepting recycling other than glass on January 16, 2024, so cardboard is not part of the city programme. Flattened boxes are accepted at the Bonneville County Hatch Pit on N Recycle Rd inside a sorted load, where a sorted load pays the lower published rate and the same load unsorted pays more. Western Recycling, at 3909 N 15th E, runs a business cardboard programme with a six yard frontload container or a baled pickup, and its residential curbside service covers mixed paper, number 1 and number 2 plastic bottles and tin and aluminum cans rather than cardboard.Official guidance
Who runs sanitation in Idaho Falls?+
The City of Idaho Falls Sanitation Division, which is fully automated and serves more than 15,500 residential properties from its office at 380 Constitution Way. The division handles solid waste collection and disposal and keeps glass collection bins around the city with a published bin map. Sanitation questions go to 208-612-8250.Official guidance
What happens to collection on a holiday?+
The city publishes a holiday collection schedule each year, and when a holiday falls on a collection day the route runs one day behind for the rest of that week. On Labor Day, Monday September 7, 2026, sanitation ran one day behind. The Bonneville County facilities keep their own closures, with the Transfer Station shut on Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year's Day and the Hatch Pit shut on all federal holidays.Official guidance
What does the city still recycle?+
Only glass. Since January 16, 2024 the city has been unable to accept recycling other than glass, and it keeps collection bins around the city with an interactive map. Curbside recycling is a separate paid service from Western Recycling covering mixed paper, number 1 and number 2 plastic bottles and tin and aluminum cans, and E Cyclers of Idaho offers free electronics recycling in Idaho Falls.Official guidance
Where do paint, oil and household chemicals go?+
Chemicals never go in a cart or on the kerb. The city code names hazardous waste, toxic chemicals and waste oils among the material it has no duty to collect. Bonneville County takes solidified latex paint at the Transfer Station on 2455 Hemmert Ave, and motor oil and antifreeze are accepted there up to five gallons each on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with personnel on hand. Ask the county on 208-528-5550 for the current household hazardous waste programme before hauling chemicals.Official guidance
Can I hire someone to haul my waste away?+
Inside the city, a private business may not haul or dispose of waste for profit, because City Code section 8-6-17 makes that unlawful and leaves only licensed recycling businesses, salvage yards and second-hand dealers free to handle material for recycling. That is why the local route for a large load is the city's own larger container or 30 yard roll-off from the Sanitation Division on 208-612-8250, together with a self haul to the Bonneville County facilities.Official guidance
