Disposal of Appliances That Use Refrigerants.
Refrigerant containing appliances such
as refrigerators, freezers, water coolers and air conditioners that are no
longer needed are often brought to Boise County transfer stations. Starting in January 2018, when a resident
brings an appliance to a Boise County transfer station you will be required
fill out a Refrigerant Recovery Statement.
Transfer station attendants will provide the form for you or you can
print a form from the Boise County Web Site at
www.boisecounty.us/Waste_Management.aspx.
The charge for these appliances remains at $20.00 as set by Boise County
resolution 2017-14. Section 608 of the
Clean Air Act prohibits the knowing release of refrigerant during the
maintenance, service, repair, or disposal of air-conditioning and refrigeration
equipment. The Act also requires proper
refrigerant management practices by appliance disposal facilities. The information you will need to provide is
you name, address and phone number along with the make, model and serial number
if known, of the appliance you are disposing of. If a technician has recovered the refrigerant
from your appliance prior to disposal at a Boise County facility, you will also
need to provide the name, address and phone number of the technician and the
date the refrigerant was recovered. If
you have any questions please call the Boise County Solid Waste office at
208-793-2447. Also remember to clean out
and remove doors from refrigerators and freezers before coming to the transfer station
to save time.

Lucky Peak -
Spring Shores Dock Improvement Project
Southern Idaho Sailing Outreach (SISO) is assisting Ada
County Parks and Waterways in applying for a dock improvement grant at Spring
Shores Marina, Lucky Peak State Park.
The grant is funded by the Waterways Improvement Fund (WIF),
administered by Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation. If
successful, the grant will complete the purchase and installation of low
profile docks to be used by small non-motorized watercraft at Lucky Peak.
Last year, SISO assisted Ada County Parks and Waterways in
applying for Phase 1 of the project. The
grant application was successful and, as of November 2017, 27 of the planned 51
docks had been procured and delivered for installation in spring of 2018. Associated with the dock procurement is
development of a hand launched non-motorized boat launch. The current grant application, if successful,
will finish the project by procuring and installing the remaining 24 docks.
Completion of the Spring Shores dock and ramp project will significantly
improve non-motorized water craft opportunities at Lucky Peak Reservoir - an
underserved recreation component at Spring Shores Marina. It will also pave the way for future small
boat sailing classes in partnership with the City of Boise Department of Parks
and Recreation.
