Teton Valley Community Recycling is a volunteer recycling program serving Teton County residents. Volunteers collect materials each Saturday at a local grocery store, Broulim's, then truck the recyclable items at least 45 miles to a recycling processor in Idaho Falls or Jackson, Wyoming. Program costs are raised through the sale of materials and fundraisers such as an annual Trash Bash, where local artists auction art made from trash. Proceeds help fund collection containers, mileage reimbursement for volunteers taking the recyclable materials to the processor, and education and outreach.

 Long-Term Vision

Teton Valley Community Recycling hopes someday, recycling will be a county-run operation. Until then, they are focusing on the existing program, educating their community and creating partnerships around the region to facilitate development of a county-run program.
