Yard waste drop-off and free mulch in Idaho
In much of the West, yard waste drop-off is called green waste or yard debris drop-off. We list 16 sites in Idaho (all from official sources); 3 take brush and branches. 9 of the 16 list a residency or eligibility rule on the source page, so bring ID or a utility bill. 9 are seasonal or event-only and 5 do not have a confirmed map pin yet. Not every local program in Idaho is listed yet.
By type: 16 yard waste drop-off, 1 compost pickup, 3 brush & branches.
Call ahead. Hours, fees, residency rules and accepted materials change. Call or check the official source page before you go. Every listing links to its source.
