Important Information about Coeur d'Alene's Recycling!

Recycling is collected every other week on the same day as garbage.

Empty clean recyclables out of bags and boxes and put them loose in your bin so that they can be easily identified and sorted at the recycling center. Recyclables in bags may be mistaken for garbage and thrown out at the sorting center.

NO plastic bags in recycling. (Reuse or recycle at grocery stores) - Plastic

NO shredded paper in recycling. Paper mills don't want shredded paper and shredded paper is difficult to sort from other recyclables. More

Extra Recycling. There is no limit on the amount of clean recycling you can set out for collection. Put recycling that doesn’t fit in your cart in recycling bins, cardboard boxes (limit 2'x2'x2'), or a 32-gal. can with handles marked "recycling".

Waste Prevention Is Even Better Than Recycling!

Before you buy, use or discard an item, ask yourself:

Reduce: Can I buy this product with less packaging?
Reuse: Can I or someone else use this again?
Recycle: Can I recycle this after I use it?
Buy Recycled: Can I get this item with recycled content?
