Bonner County Solid Waste, Careywood

Bonner County Solid Waste at the Careywood/Cocolalla spot sits off US‑95 on the Blanchard‑Glengary stretch. Locals bring household trash, yard debris and the usual recycling to this small county site. It’s a plain, working place - not a drop-off with bells and whistles.

Pull in from US‑95 onto a gravel lot where there’s a small entrance area and usually a scale/booth set up for traffic control, so be ready to slow down and stop. The recycling bins are commonly off to one side while trash and yard material go to larger containers or piles further in; trailers and pickups are the most common vehicles here. Maneuvering is on gravel and dirt, so take it easy and watch for ruts and loose stones. Weekends, and especially spring cleanup time, can mean lines and slower moving traffic.
