Recycling in Great Falls, Montana
Great Falls collects residential garbage through its own Solid Waste Division, but recycling is handled by private businesses around town rather than a curbside cart. City code is specific about how refuse is presented: garbage has to be wrapped, extra rubbish needs 32-gallon containers, and tree trimmings must be bundled to weight. Cascade County runs a separate punch-card system for the rural collection sites outside the city.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Great Falls have curbside recycling?
The city lists recycling services at private locations rather than a city curbside program. AutoZone at 3300 10th Ave. S and 416 Smelter Ave. NE accepts oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and gear oil at no charge, as long as the drop-off contains no water or antifreeze. See our motor oil guide for safe transport.
Where can I recycle batteries and bulbs in Great Falls?
Batteries and Bulbs at 900 10th Ave. S Ste. 3 accepts lead acid batteries from cars, trucks and emergency lighting, nickel cadmium batteries from cordless phones, tools and two way radios, nickel metal hydride batteries from camcorders and cameras, and lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries from cell phones and laptops. It also takes portable electronics and CFL bulbs, preferably in their original boxes. There is a fee to recycle items there. See our batteries guide.
How does city code say garbage must be presented?
Under city code section 8.8.060, all garbage placed in residential refuse containers must be wrapped with paper or plastic. Under 8.8.080, extraordinary accumulations of rubbish must be placed for collection in containers no bigger than 32 gallons.
What are the rules for tree trimmings?
Tree trimmings may be placed for collection outside a container as long as they are secured in bundles that do not exceed seventy-five pounds in weight and four feet in length. See our yard waste guide.
How do Cascade County rural collection sites work?
The county mails solid waste punch cards each year, and the staffed Rural Collection Sites are open four days a week to Cascade County Solid Waste District members and special permit holders, except the Monarch site which runs a seasonally adjusted schedule. The sites are for household waste only, and punch cards are not valid for special waste or Freon-containing materials. Permit questions go to the Treasurer's Office at 406-454-6850, and service questions to Republic Services at 406-770-4441.
