Here in Blaine County when you're recycling materials, chances are someone's either coming to you and picking up your recyclables or you're going and dropping off your recyclables somewhere. This is basically the difference between curbside and drop off services -- one comes to you and the other you have to go to. Fortunately we have both in Blaine County.

Curbside

If you're a resident of Sun Valley, Ketchum or Hailey, your recycling services are included in your cities' solid waste fees. Curbside service is provided by a franchise agreement between the cities and Clear Creek Disposal and runs on a set schedule.  Recycling for businesses is provided free of charge only in Hailey.  Businesses, including homeowner associations, in Sun Valley, Ketchum, Bellevue and Blaine County must contract separately for this paid service.

Those in Bellevue, Carey and the unincorporated areas of Blaine County must contract separately with their waste hauler for recycling services. Such arrangements could change if these local governments move to franchise these solid waste services.

The curbside program is source-separated meaning that you need to separate all your recyclables in specific bins and set these out at the curb for pickup. Recyclables collected at the curb include:

• Glass
• Newspaper
• Magazines
• Mixed paper (office paper, junk mail, cereal boxes, paper egg cartons, etc)
• #1 & #2 plastic bottles (no cups or tubs)
• Cans (aluminum & tin)
