Western Recycling was originally incorporated in 1976.The current owners have owned and operated the business since 1979. Originally Western had one location with approximately 6500 square feet of warehouse/production space. Western now operates in six locations in Idaho. Boise, Nampa, Fruitland, Twin Falls, Idaho Falls, Pocatello. The company is employee owned. Western processes over 100,000 tons of cardboard, paper, plastics, aluminum cans, ferrous scrap metal, and nonferrous scrap metal each year. In 1986, through our affiliate, Western Records Destruction Inc., we expanded our services to include onsite and offsite document shredding.
Business offices typically generate large quantities of recyclable items. Western Recycling offers programs that can help businesses recycle this material instead of throwing it away. Western also provides confidential records destruction through its affiliate Western Records Destruction Inc. Material for recycling can be delivered to one of our facilities or we can provide containers and a mobile pickup service. We offer a variety of business recycling solutions – for more detailed information about our commercial recycling programs please call our office @ 208-375-8580 or
