20 Things Boise Trash Will Take For Free, That You Thought You’d Pay For

Living in Boise is about as good as it gets.

We're still waiting on Winter of 2025/2026 to arrive however...so, we won't jinx ourselves.

Along with seasons, activities, and fantastic concerts that fill up 'Boise Life' each year, are some really fun perks that come with living in Boise as well. Safety, reasonable pricing for services and daily needs, the large number of parks available to pets, kids, and families alike.

What about...trash?

Few would consider 'trash pickup' a perk while living inBoise--or anywhere for that matter. But there is indeed a FREE trash pickup perk exclusive to Boise residents that  most don't know about...

Take a look at the FREE service that Boise residents can take advantage of 6 times a year! 

If you have any of these things at home that you're dying to get rid of--schedule that FREE pickup! 

Tons of those items listed above often end up sitting around in garages or yards because they don't fit into a trash can--or--can they even be thrown away!? Republic Services can help dispose of these things safely.

However, if any of these items are still useable, there may be a non-profit organization that could use them for folks in need or for affordable resale. There are pickup services managed by local organizations for this, too.

Contact Republic Services at (208) 345-1266 to schedule one of your free 'large item' pickups, today!
