How Boise handles construction debris

Boise, Idaho runs one of the most comprehensive curbside waste programs in the Mountain West through the “Curb It” program, operated in partnership with Republic Services. Boise residents receive 6 free large item pickups per year in addition to weekly trash and compost service, plus a nationally recognized curbside composting program diverting over 30,000 tons annually. The Hefty EnergyBag orange bag program adds a unique pathway for hard-to-recycle plastics. This guide covers every disposal option for City of Boise residents.

The Boise rule for construction debris: Construction debris is not a large item. The Boise transfer station or the Ada County Landfill take it for a fee; or rent a Republic container.

What the city will not take: Household hazardous waste (Ada County HHW facility), tires (Ada County Landfill), and construction debris.

How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Boise Curb It: Trash (large item pickups), Republic Services: Boise facilities. Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.

Why construction debris are different from ordinary bulk. The homeowner versus contractor distinction matters. Cities that accept any C&D at the curb accept it only from residents doing their own work, in small amounts, usually bagged or bundled under 50 pounds. Contractor-generated debris is excluded everywhere and must be hauled by the contractor; make sure debris removal is in your contract.

Prep checklist before pickup day in Boise

  • In a pre-1980 house, test suspect materials for asbestos before demolition.
  • Remove cabinets, doors, and fixtures intact and schedule a ReStore pickup.
  • Sort concrete and brick, clean lumber, and metal into separate piles for cheaper or free outlets.
  • Bag drywall and plaster in small bags under 40 to 50 pounds; bundle lumber with nails removed.
  • Stage the remaining mixed debris in one accessible pile for a hauler, dumpster, or transfer station run.

Three mistakes that get construction debris left at the curb:

  • Don't put renovation debris out with bulk pickup unless your city explicitly allows small homeowner amounts. It will be skipped and often cited.
  • Don't demolish anything in a pre-1980 house without checking for asbestos. Floor tile, mastic, popcorn ceilings, and pipe wrap are common sources.
  • Don't tear out cabinets you could donate. Complete kitchens are picked up free by ReStores.

Most renovation debris will go through one of these paid channels. Match the volume to the option.

Self-haul to a transfer station

$30 to $100 per pickup load

Transfer stations charge by weight (commonly $60 to $120 per ton with a minimum) or by load. A pickup truck of mixed debris typically runs $30 to $100. Sort concrete and clean wood out for cheaper rates where offered.

Tarp the load; most jurisdictions fine uncovered debris.

Call about asbestos rules before hauling anything from a pre-1980 house.
