" BANNOCK COUNTY, Idaho — Summer programs are returning to the Fort Hall Mine Landfill to help residents dispose of waste safely and keep our community clean. Household Hazardous Waste Days The popular Household Hazardous Waste Days return on April 4. This free program helps protect our local drinking water by keeping harmful chemicals out of the Lower Portneuf Valley Aquifer. Events take place on the first Saturday of every month, April through October, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Fort Hall Mine Landfill. Please note there is no event in July because the holiday falls on the first Saturday this year. In 2025, residents helped divert 60,000 lbs. of hazardous waste. This included 4,000 gallons of used oil and 4,500 lbs. of pesticides. These materials are recycled, repurposed, or safely disposed of. For a list of what you can bring, visit bannockcounty.gov/landfill and click the “Household Hazardous Waste” tab. Annual Free Days Bannock County will also host three Free Days at the Fort Hall Mine Landfill. On these dates, landfill fees are waived for all county residents: Saturday, May 16 Saturday, July 18 Saturday, October 17 Free Dumpster Days To support our neighbors in the southern part of the county, we are partnering with Arimo, Downey, Lava Hot Springs, and McCammon to provide Free Dumpster Days.

" Bannock County Veteran Services is inviting the community to a ceremony honoring the lives lost in the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. The ceremony will begin at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 7, at the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge on W Fremont Street in Pocatello. People are invited to wear Hawaiian shirts and join the tradition of tossing flower petals into the Portneuf River, which was started by a local survivor of the attacks. “It’s now been 84 years since this attack, and we have not forgotten the immense impact this day had on American history or our community. I hope folks will join us, and bring their families, as we honor those lost on this fateful day,” said Melissa Hartman, Bannock County Veteran Services Coordinator. Dinner will be served after the ceremony at the Bannock County Veterans Memorial Building, 300 N Johnson Avenue. The food is provided by a joint effort from the Veterans Services Organization Auxiliaries. "
