Road to Zero Waste JH

05/29/2026

We loved hosting several student tours this spring and showing young recyclers what happens after materials arrive at the Recycling Center.

From sorting and baling to learning what recyclables become in their next lives, these visits are a great reminder that the Road to Zero Waste starts with curiosity.

Thanks to the students, teachers, and chaperones who came to learn with us! ♻️

Here's an opportunity to dispose of your expired bear spray for FREE (and replace it for the year). If you don't make it to the Teton County Library event, the Recycling Center collects bear spray year-round for $2 each to help offset the cost of disposal. Visit TetonCountyWY.gov/Recycle for more info.

Watching paint dry isn’t usually exciting, but in this case, it’s exactly what you should do (for WATER-BASED paints and stains).

Latex and water-based paints do not go to the Household Hazardous Waste Facility. If the label says cleanup is with soap and water, let it dry out, then throw it in the trash once it’s solid.

OIL-BASED paints, stains, and thinners are toxic to the environment and DO need to come to HHW by appointment. Visit TetonCountyWY.gov/HHW to learn more.

As you gather with friends and family this Memorial Day weekend, do it with a little red, white, blue… and green.

Before you toss everything in one bag, remember:
♻️ Recycle cans, bottles, jars, corrugated cardboard, and stretchy plastic bags.
🍎 Compost food scraps.
🗑️ Trash foam, napkins and other non-recyclables.

Happy Memorial Day weekend, and thanks for helping keep our holiday weekends a little less wasteful.
