Start trash and recycling service after you move
Last checked Nov 10, 2026
Trash and recycling in the Treasure Valley are set up through your city or its billed hauler, not through a single valley-wide office. Use the official page for your city to start service and to read current collection rules. We last checked the pages below on November 10, 2026 and we do not invent pickup days, cart sizes, or rates.
Which official page should I use?
- Boise: the City of Boise Curb-it trash page, together with the new-resident page.
- Eagle: the City of Eagle Recycling & Trash Services page.
- Garden City: the city's official water, sewer, and trash utility billing page.
- Meridian, Kuna, and Nampa: start with each city's official utility-billing or start-service page listed on our utilities and city services pages, and use the trash instructions those pages publish.
- Star: Star Sewer & Water District handles water and sewer at starswd.com. A municipality collection page is published at Republic Services' Star page. Confirm whether the City of Star also publishes its own official trash page before you treat a hauler page as the only source.
- Caldwell: start at the City of Caldwell official website and confirm the current utility-billing or sanitation page for start-service instructions.
When should I also think about gutters and drainage?
City collection is about household waste. Roof water and yard drainage are separate. If you are in a new-construction home, see our guides to local gutter companies and landscaping after you have trash service started.
