At Foothills Recycling, our goal is to be your all-inclusive, one-stop, go-to answer to all of your recycling and composting needs. We are committed to servicing our community and making a difference for our planet.
At this point in time, we don’t offer curbside pick up. So, that means we are in this awesome recycling mission together. You and us. For your part, you’re gonna have to put a little sweat equity and pay a little money to get your recycling into our hands. But, we’ll take it from there. And, believe us, driving home from our recycling centers with a bunch of empty recycling bins is one great feeling if you care about the planet and future generations.
We accept all of the following:
Glass jars and bottles* (No panes or pieces of sheet glass, please)
Plastic bottles and containers (#1 and #2 only, please, for the time being; no lids on bottles)
Cardboard and card-stock boxes and packaging
Pasteboard shipping boxes (please break boxes down)
Paper (No plastic-coated papers, mailers, or staples, no shredded papers; brown/kraft paper goes with cardboard)
Aluminum cans (No aluminum foil, please, but pie tins and similar are OK)
Steel/tin cans
Plastic bags (such as grocery bags and bread bags that are stretchable; not chip bags)
XPS foam (i.e., Styrofoam™) - extra charge
Food waste for composting
*We provide safety glasses and hearing protection for recycling your glass containers. Please use it for your own sake when you dump bottles and jars into our haul-off containers. Hearing loss is irreversible. Eyesight is precious.

Pay-as-you-go services are also available; no membership is required.
One drop-off of household recycling is $7 per vehicle. Each gallon of food waste for composting is $1.
(Hey, you’ve spent as much on a fancy coffee drink more times than you’d like to admit.)
And, we reserve the right to ask a bit more if it’s a really big load. Like, don’t fill your truck bed to the brim and think you can pay the same as what’s in a car’s hatchback!
That said, $7 usually covers the usual set of recycling bins you’ll be bringing from your garage.
If you are a small business that generates a lot of continuous and regular recyclable material, let’s talk. We can work out a custom plan that's reasonable and efficient.
Tipping our workers is welcomed, but is not required. We do this job because it has meaning for us.
