Tree City Recycling was started by local residents to address a gap in community recycling services. Families outside Boise city limits needed a sustainable way to recycle glass. Monthly curbside pickup makes glass recycling easy and convenient. Simply by taking action to set up your monthly glass recycling service today, you are making a positive impact on your community.

Did you know?  

• Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly without loss in quality or purity - something few food and beverage packaging options can claim. 

• Recycled glass can be substituted for up to 95% of raw materials.

• Recycled glass containers are always needed because glass manufacturers require high-quality recycled container glass to meet market demands for new containers.

• One ton of carbon dioxide is reduced for every six tons of recycled container glass used in the manufacturing process. 

• Recycling 1,000 tons of glass creates slightly over 8 jobs.  

• An estimated 80% of all glass containers recovered for recycling are remelted in furnaces, and used in the manufacture of new glass containers.

Tree City Recycling will provide curbside pick-up of your glass materials monthly for a nominal fee of $10.00.  Using the Tree City Glass Recycling bin provided at no charge, recycle your glass throughout the month.  On the first Saturday, place your bin at the curb for pick up.  Your glass will be taken to the local recycling plant for processing.  Instead of putting your glass in the landfill, it will be recycled and reused to make new glass products.
