Love the hours and that I can recycle 7 days a week. Glass is still recycled here. You can’t even recycle glass in the central part of Bozeman anymore (you have to drive 8-9 miles to get past four corners).

Be prepared for the recycling center to be closed. I have now given up on recycling in Livingston. I cannot believe how difficult this place makes recycling which is already a pain to juggle. I can't count how many times I have loaded my boxes and bags of material and have driven up to locked gates and watched other people drive up and have to turn around as well. I went on 12/23/20 at 4:15 - closed.
