1. Can I recycle glass?

Yes! The City of Eagle offers a glass recycling drop off bin located at the south end of the Eagle Library parking lot (100 N Stierman Way). Remove lids or corks, this is a glass only facility. Please place all glass in the bin, no leaving bottles or boxes on the pavement. 

2. Can I recycle water bottles?

GREAT news recyclers!  

We have added a new service! At home, you can recycle cardboard, cans, and thick #1 plastics in your blue bin. The energy bag (orange bag) is where you put other plastics #2-7. 

What about disposable water bottles? They generally have the #1 recycle number on them but because they are so thin, they often cause contamination of paper products when processing and therefore, cannot be placed in your blue bin. 

Solution? We are testing out a pilot program and have placed a water bottle recycling station next to the Library. 

It’s the same place where you can also recycle glass! 

We understand that the new recycling restrictions can be frustrating but we appreciate the opportunity to try new programs and keep recyclables out of the landfill. #EagleisHOME

Confusing? We are here to answer questions but when in doubt, throw it out!

6. What is the Energy Bag (orange bag) Program?

This program is accessible to Eagle residents thanks to the City of Boise. The concept is to take the now unrecyclable plastics and convert them into fuel for the agricultural industry.

A one-year supply of orange bags is now available at City Hall for Eagle residents to purchase at City Hall Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. Bags are also available for purchase at the Eagle Public Library Monday-Thursday from 9am-8pm, Friday from 9am-6pm, Saturday 9am-5pm, and Sunday 1pm-5pm. 

On your regularly scheduled recycle day, the orange bag can be securely tied and placed in the blue bin. The bags will be transported, sorted from the rest of the recycled materials, and sent to the fuel conversion center.
