Recycling in Teton County, Idaho, is a true success story—one made possible by the strong partnership between three key organizations: the Teton County Transfer Station, RAD Curbside, and Teton Valley Community Recycling.
The Teton County Transfer Station, a public, county-operated facility, serves as the central drop-off location where materials are collected, processed, baled, and stored before being sold to buyers, while also tracking recycling statistics to guide sustainability efforts.
RAD Curbside, a private benefit corporation, specializes in source-separated recycling and direct education at collection, minimizing contamination while efficiently transporting recyclables and implementing county-wide sustainability goals.
Teton Valley Community Recycling (TVCR), a 501(c)(3) non-profit, focuses on community education, advocacy, grant writing, and goal facilitation to ensure recycling programs remain effective and well-supported.
By leveraging their unique strengths—county infrastructure, private sector efficiency, and non-profit advocacy—these three organizations have created a model of sustainable waste management that benefits the community and the environment, proving that collaboration is the key to success.
