Teton County, Idaho has established a recycle/salvage program in order to reduce the amount of waste transported to the landfill by allowing salvageable items to be removed and reused by citizens. The basis of the program is to allow customers access to specific areas of the transfer station site for the purpose of salvaging and recycling useful items.

Please don't "WishCycle" in Teton County! If in doubt, please contact Teton Valley Community Recycling, RAD Curbside or the County Transfer Station. We are all happy to answer your questions to help you Recycle Right in our County to avoid contamination and bins of materials getting landfilled due to your good intentions. (Note: Recycling here may be very different from what you've seen elsewhere. Let us help you do it right!)We've all been there! You toss something that you hope is recyclable, cross your fingers, and hope for the best! While typically done with the best of intentions, recycling items that may not be recyclable actually does a lot more harm than good! Over 25% of items that are found in recycling containers don't belong there, and that can cause a lot of problems! Wishcycling can contaminate other recyclables and cause the entire batch to be trashed. It can also damage recycling equipment or even completely shut down local recycling centers 😬 Always make sure that what you're recycling is clean and accepted by your city center (every city is different so definitely google it!), or better yet, find a way to reuse the item yourself!
