Residential Food Scrap Drop-Off

Teton County Residential Food Waste Composting (Self-Haul)

Introducing compost loyalty punch cards:

$20 for 10 punches. When you fill out 10 punches, you can receive a bag of finished compost to use in your garden!

Teton County Integrated Solid Waste & Recycling accepts residential food waste. This service is available to residents only (includes commuter/sister communities) who are able to self-haul food waste to the Recycling Center. 

The residential composting program is geared toward those who have a 5-gallon bucket or less and can accept food waste only (please see the Yard Waste section for programs regarding other types of organics). Please see the comprehensive and printable guide below. 

Up to 5-gallons of food waste at a time may be brought to the Recycling Center by residents between 9am-5pm Monday-Friday.  

We cannot collect food waste outside of business hours as food waste attracts wildlife. Food waste may be hauled in 5-gallon buckets or less and the use of a compostable liner or bag is permitted; ensure you are able to lift and dump your own compost. 

Food waste will be visually inspected for contaminates prior to being dumped, any non-food waste found will be returned or your load may be rejected. 

The fee for residential food waste composting at the Recycling Center is a flat rate of $2.00 per container; cash or punch card preferred.
