Recycling in Lewiston, Idaho

The City of Lewiston runs a Sanitation Utility, and Sunshine Disposal and Recycling handles the curbside garbage, yard waste, and recycling carts under it. Recycling comes every other week on your garbage day, alternating between the red and blue collection areas. Extra trash and bulky items go to the Lewiston Transfer Station, which now serves Lewiston residents only.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often is recycling collected in Lewiston, Idaho?

Every other week, on your regular garbage day, between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM. The city splits service into red and blue collection areas that alternate weeks, and the October 2026 to September 2027 recycling calendar shows which week is yours. A collection day that falls on a holiday moves one day later, so a Friday pickup runs on Saturday.

When does Lewiston pick up yard waste?

From March 1 through December 31, yard waste goes out on your regular garbage day. In January and February, the city collects it once a month, between the 1st and the 7th. Bagged yard waste is collected November 1 through March 1. The council-adopted cart rate covers garbage, yard waste, and recycling together.

Can I put glass in my Lewiston recycling cart?

No. Lewiston's single-stream cart list excludes glass, along with batteries, electronics, fluorescent bulbs, hazardous waste, medical waste, plastic bags, and Styrofoam. Take glass to the Lewiston Transfer Station instead, which charges $3.15 per 5-gallon bucket.

Does Lewiston pick up bulky items at the curb?

No. City residents haul bulky items and extra trash to the Lewiston Transfer Station at no added charge beyond the posted fees. Since October 1, 2025, you must show a current utility bill with a Lewiston address and sanitation service, plus a driver's license with the same address. Solid waste service includes 12 cubic yards of excess haul per fiscal year, and each yard after that costs $26.25.

How much does the Lewiston Transfer Station charge for tires and appliances?

Car and light truck tires cost $15.75 each without the rim, and each appliance with refrigerant costs $15.75. Cardboard runs $26.25 per bale and glass $3.15 per 5-gallon bucket. These fees took effect October 1, 2025. Call the station at 208-746-0389 before loading anything you are unsure about.

Where do I take used motor oil and paint in Lewiston?

The Lewiston Transfer Station takes used motor oil, used antifreeze, latex paint, automobile batteries, and common household batteries from city residents. Bring your utility bill and matching driver's license, since staff check both at the entrance.

Recycling tips for Lewiston

  • •Nez Perce County residents lost access to the Lewiston Transfer Station on October 1, 2025, at the direction of the County Commission.
  • •The transfer station no longer opens on Sundays, so plan weekend cleanouts for Saturday.
  • •Your utility bill must show sanitation service and match the address on your driver's license, or staff will turn you away.
  • •Track your red or blue week on the city recycling calendar, because a missed week leaves recycling sitting for a full extra cycle.
  • •A floor replacement project affects transfer station operations, and the city posts current changes on its project page.
