Changes to Glass Drop-Off Site Program
Thursday, August 30, 2012
The city of Boise is opening a new glass recycling drop-off
location in east Boise near the Idaho Botanical Gardens on August
31, 2012.
The new site replaces the popular drop off location at the old
Armory building (801 Reserve Street). The Armory site - which was
sold recently by the City to a private developer - will be closed
permanently for glass collection on August 30.
The new east Boise glass recycling drop-off is located at the
Idaho State Historical Society building at 2205 E. Goodman
Street. This location is conveniently located off Warm
Springs Avenue and adjacent to the Idaho Botanical Gardens
(IBG). Goodman Street is the "back entrance" to the IBG.
Meanwhile, the drop off location at the old Ridley's Market,
2950 Bogus Basin Road, was permanently closed on Wednesday, August
8. The property owner asked the City to remove the bins
because of trash and other public misuse. (The Kiwanis recycling
bins were also removed for the same reasons.)
