4.3 (24 reviews)

The City of Helena Transfer Station on North Benton Avenue is the city's main solid-waste site, handling residential and commercial garbage disposal along with a full recycling operation. Garbage is charged by weight, while household recycling is free for City of Helena and Scratch Gravel residents who bring it in with their solid waste permit. Cash customers can recycle too, with a $6 minimum charge. Recyclables accepted at the Transfer Station include corrugated cardboard, newspaper and office paper, aluminum and steel cans, mixed glass bottles and jars (clear, brown, and green), and #1 and #2 plastics. Glass and plastic are only taken here at the station rather than at the neighborhood drop-off bins. The station also accepts scrap metal, used motor oil, and tree branches and yard waste, and each spring it runs a latex paint exchange where residents can drop off and pick up usable paint. The Transfer Station is open daily, 8 AM to 4:15 PM. For permit questions or current rates, the office can be reached at (406) 447-8082.

Transfer Stations & Dumps in Helena: FAQ

Can I drop off household trash at a transfer station in Helena, MT?

Most transfer stations and convenience centers take household garbage and bulky items, but some serve only commercial haulers and county sites may ask for proof of residency. Check the listing or call before you go.

How much does the dump cost in Helena, MT?

Fees are usually charged by weight or by load, with surcharges for tires, mattresses, appliances, and construction debris. Some county convenience centers are free for residents because local taxes fund them.

What is the difference between a transfer station and a landfill?

A transfer station is a collection point: waste is unloaded, consolidated, and trucked to a landfill or processing plant. A landfill is the final disposal site. Convenience centers are small residential drop-off sites, often run by the county.
