Boulevard & Rogers Street Bennett & Waid Cleveland & Fanning (southwest corner) Sunnyside Park (by Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center — southeast corner) South of First Street (west side of Meppen) Sykes & Davidson Ashment & 12th Street Russet & Lincoln
Don’t forget to remove all ornaments and lights from your tree before you toss it.
Pocatello
Drop boxes will be available for tree disposal at the following locations:
Pocatello City Hall at 911 N. 7th Ave. Rainey Park on South Arthur Avenue By the entrance to Sister City Park on Pocatello Creek Road
