Boise's new "Curb It" no-sort recycling program is just rolling out. Unfortunately, it is only available to city residents. Because Hidden Springs is in 'unincorporated Ada County' we are not included in the new program and will still need to manually sort our recyclables. This takes extra time and decreases participation in recycling.
The unincorporated Ada County trash/recycling contract with Allied Waste expires in September. Ada County Commissioners Rick Yzaguirre, Sharon Ullman and Fred Tillman will be negotiating a new contract over the coming months. Let's let our elected officials know that we would like them to follow the City of Boise's lead and have the County contract include no-sort, single-bin recycling. There are many benefits for both residents and Allied Waste - no-sort recycling is easier for residents, reduces waste and makes recycling pick-up more efficient.
By signing the below you are asking the Ada County Commissioners to include no-sort recycling in the new contract they are developing.
The feedback I have received from neighbors confirms that many of us find the current manual sorting process outdated and burdensome. I am currently gathering information on how to best present these signatures to the commissioners during their upcoming negotiations. Your participation provides a necessary foundation for showing the county that this transition is a priority for our community.

The steady growth of this petition shows that many of us in unincorporated Ada County are ready for a more efficient way to handle our waste. It is encouraging to see our neighbors agree that simple improvements to our recycling contract will lead to better participation for everyone.

Its 2014, we should have the same trash services as the city. Why are we always the last ones to get basic updates?

My bin is always overflowing because of the sorting requirements. Single stream would make life so much easier for everyone out here.
