Eco camps are the perfect summer camp to get your kids out in nature, having fun, and learning great life skills right here in our own backyard.

♻️ Ketchum has a new recycling option! ♻️
The City of Ketchum is partnering with Clear Creek Disposal and the Blaine County Recycle Center to run a 3-month pilot program at the Lewis Street Recycling Center. From June 1-September 1 you can drop off metal cans to be recycled. During the 3-month pilot program, we are looking to determine:
The total amount of metal cans collected.
The level of community demand for a community aluminum drop off bin in Ketchum.
How many residents want to recycle but currently lack convenient options.
Whether additional dedicated aluminum collection locations should be considered in the future.

Don't forget to rinse out your cans before recycling them!
