Facility Presentation / Tour - Timber Creek Recycling, Nampa

As of this year, Canyon County residents and businesses now have a new place to drop off trash and recycling materials that is locally-owned instead of driving to the County landfill south of Lake Lowell.

The current Timbercreek Recycling facility (built in 2022 on a triangle-shaped parcel along the railroad tracks in Nampa) currently accepts tree and yard waste (green waste), construction wood waste, residential, commercial, and industrial food waste, concrete (with and without rebar), asphalt, sheet rock, and biosolids.

With the newly constructed transfer facility, the company is now accepting cardboard and white paper, plastics, glass, metal, metal wire, appliances, roofing shingles, packaged food waste, and reuse items such as bikes. A Househould Hazardous Waste area will accept non-alkaline batteries, CFL and fluorescent bulbs, vehicle batteries, TVs, and herbicides.

The new facility also retails bulk materials (e.g., topsoil, loam, mulch, compost, livestock bedding) and recycling and landscaping supplies, including landscape rock, ceramic planters, planter boxes, and more.

During this group event, there will be a short presentation and walking tour to learn more about the Timbercreek Recycling cutting-edge ASP (Aerated Static Pile) composting facility, where air is forced into piles to accelerate the biodegradation. We will also learn about the first-of-its-kind in Idaho food waste recycling program designed to handle both unpackaged and packaged food waste.
