Transfer Stations & Dumps in Montana

15 facilities for dropping off trash, bulky waste, and recycling.

These are transfer stations, landfills, convenience centers, and drop-off sites in Montana.

At the Victor transfer station in the Bitterroot Valley, the operator asks you to arrive by 3:30 p.m. so you can unload before the 4 p.m. close, and to wear high-visibility clothing once you step out of your vehicle.

Montana Transfer Stations: Common Questions

Are these all transfer stations in Montana?

This page lists the transfer stations, landfills, convenience centers, and drop-off sites we have on file for Montana. It is not a complete municipal registry. Your county or city solid-waste department may run additional sites, especially seasonal or residents-only convenience centers.

Can I drop off household trash at these Montana facilities?

Most accept household garbage and bulky items, but rules vary. Some take the general public, others serve only commercial haulers, and county convenience centers may require proof of residency. Check the individual listing or call before you go.

Do Montana transfer stations charge a fee?

Usually yes. Tipping fees are commonly charged by weight or by load, with extra charges for tires, mattresses, appliances, and construction debris. Some county-run convenience centers are free for residents because they are funded by local taxes.
