Billings does not run a city curbside recycling bin program: the Solid Waste Division has said publicly that a citywide recycling container system would cost millions and isn't in the budget, so curbside pickup covers garbage and yard waste only. Recycling in Billings runs through the private hauler Earth First Aid (paid subscription, no glass) and drop-off options at the Billings Regional Landfill on Jellison Road. The city's refinery row along the Yellowstone River, once Exxon and now Par Montana, is a defining feature of the local economy and skyline, and Billings' near-constant wind shapes how loose recyclables and yard debris need to be secured for collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the City of Billings offer curbside recycling?
No. The City of Billings collects garbage and, seasonally, yard waste at the curb, but it does not operate a curbside recycling program. Public Works has stated a citywide recycling container rollout would cost millions of dollars and isn't something rates currently support. Residents who want curbside recycling have to sign up with the private hauler Earth First Aid, which charges a monthly fee for bins picked up every other week.
Where can I drop off recyclables in Billings?
The Billings Regional Landfill at 5240 Jellison Road accepts cardboard, used oil and antifreeze, and free residential electronic waste (through a partnership with Yellowstone E-Waste Solutions) at no charge. The city also places aluminum can drop-off bins at select Billings parks, with proceeds going toward planting trees. Scrap metal, batteries, and additional electronics can also be taken to businesses like Pacific Steel and Recycling or Yellowstone E-Waste's downtown location.
Can I recycle glass in Billings?
Glass recycling is limited. The city landfill's free recycling drop-off does not list glass among accepted materials, and Earth First Aid, the main curbside recycling subscription service, explicitly does not accept glass at the curb or at its drop-off location. Montana's Department of Environmental Quality has noted that the state's low population makes glass recycling markets difficult to sustain, so most glass in Billings ends up in the regular trash unless a resident seeks out a specialty recycler.
How does household hazardous waste and electronics disposal work in Billings?
Household hazardous waste, including paint, solvents, automotive chemicals, pesticides, fluorescent bulbs, and batteries, is accepted at the Billings Regional Landfill, where gate staff direct residents on proper drop-off. Electronic waste is handled through a free residential program with Yellowstone E-Waste Solutions, with drop-off available at the landfill or their 15th Street warehouse; businesses pay a fee. Unused medications go to designated drop boxes rather than the landfill, including the Solid Waste office on Midland Road and the Billings Crime Prevention Center.
Does Montana have a bottle deposit law?
No. Montana is one of the states without a bottle bill, so there is no deposit refund for cans or bottles purchased in Billings. Aluminum cans can still be recycled for free at the city's park drop-off bins or through scrap and can recyclers, but there's no cash-back incentive like in deposit states.
Recycling tips for Billings
•If you want curbside recycling, you'll need to pay for it: sign up directly with Earth First Aid for their every-other-week bin pickup rather than assuming the city provides one.
•Take cardboard, used motor oil, and antifreeze straight to the Billings Regional Landfill on Jellison Road, where all three are accepted free of charge for residents.
•Secure loose paper, cardboard, and yard waste before it reaches the curb or landfill drop bins; Billings' frequent strong winds scatter unsecured recyclables quickly.
•Schedule electronics drop-off through Yellowstone E-Waste Solutions if you're in Yellowstone, Carbon, Musselshell, Stillwater, or Treasure county: the program is free for residents but requires an appointment for larger loads.
•Bulky items over 75 pounds or too large for your garbage bin won't be picked up automatically; call the Solid Waste Division to schedule a bulky item pickup before setting heavy items at the curb.
