Recycling in Missoula, Montana

Missoula sits in a mountain valley where the Clark Fork, Bitterroot, and Blackfoot rivers meet, and there is no city-run curbside recycling program: pickup comes from private haulers like Republic Services, Garden City Recycling, and the nonprofit Recycling Works. Montana has no bottle deposit law, so cans and bottles go in with regular recycling rather than to a redemption center. Home ReSource, the local building-materials reuse center, has become the go-to spot for hard-to-recycle items and household chemical disposal that the haulers will not take.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Missoula have city-run curbside recycling?

No. Missoula does not operate a municipal curbside recycling program, so residents sign up directly with a private hauler. Republic Services, Garden City Recycling, and the nonprofit Recycling Works all offer subscription pickup in the city, and pricing and accepted materials vary by company. Recycling Works lets you build a plan from glass, multi-stream (paper, cardboard, cans, plastic), and compost, while Garden City Recycling and Republic Services focus on standard multi-stream recycling.

Where does glass recycling go in Missoula?

Glass is handled separately from most curbside recycling in Missoula. Recycling Works, a local nonprofit, runs a dedicated glass subscription service and also hosts quarterly glass drop-off events at Big Sky High School's north parking lot, with a suggested $1-per-gallon donation. Glass gets processed locally, then shipped to a glass recycler in Salt Lake City that turns it into new bottles and fiberglass insulation.

Can I take recycling straight to the Missoula landfill?

Yes. The Missoula landfill, operated by Republic Services at 3737 Coal Mine Road, accepts drop-off recycling and household trash and is open Monday through Saturday. It functions as the county's main disposal and transfer point, so haulers and residents doing their own runs both end up there for anything that is not handled curbside.

How do I get rid of household hazardous waste or electronics in Missoula?

Missoula does not have year-round curbside hazardous waste pickup, but Home ReSource runs a Household Chemical Disposal facility (by appointment, fee-based) for paint, solvents, and similar chemicals, and the Missoula Valley Water Quality District has historically hosted an annual Hazardous Waste Days event each September. For electronics, options include Pacific Steel and Recycling, Best Buy, Staples, and a handful of local repair and e-waste shops; Montana has no state law requiring e-waste recycling, so always call ahead to confirm what a location takes and whether there is a fee.

Does Montana have a bottle deposit or can-return program?

No. Montana is one of the states without a bottle bill, so there is no deposit added to cans or bottles at purchase and no redemption center to return them to for cash. Aluminum cans, glass, and plastic bottles in Missoula simply go into your curbside recycling or a glass drop-off, not a deposit machine.

Missoula Recycling Tips

  • •Sign up with a hauler before you assume you have recycling: Missoula has no city bin program, so service only starts once you subscribe to Republic Services, Garden City Recycling, or Recycling Works.
  • •Keep glass separate. Most multi-stream haulers in Missoula do not take glass in the regular bin, so use Recycling Works' glass subscription or one of its quarterly drop-off events at Big Sky High School.
  • •Rinse containers and remove caps and lids before glass drop-off; Pyrex, windows, and lightbulbs are not accepted even though they are glass.
  • •For paint, solvents, and other household chemicals, book an appointment at Home ReSource's Household Chemical Disposal facility rather than putting them in the trash or pouring them out.
  • •Winter temperature inversions settle over the valley and trap air pollution for days at a time, so burning yard waste or trash is discouraged locally; bag yard debris for pickup or haul it to the landfill instead.
