As a new resident of Butte with no household trash pickup I was very excited to learn the dump waives fees for household trash. We have been treated very nicely at each visit and it’s about as easy as it can be to get in drop my trash and leave. They lose one star for the lack of a meaningful recycling program. My fingers are crossed that this will change.

Not actually open till 5:30. You have to be unloaded and out by 5:15 so don't plan on a quick dump run after work.
