Closed on all government holidays. Summer hours, with Sunday opening, run from the spring switch to daylight saving time until the fall return to standard time.
Carcasses (pets, livestock, roadkill or hunting-season remains) go in the marked pit; call the landfill shop at (406) 660-3009 so staff know to cover it. Asbestos needs a call first: there are steps to follow and a limit on how much the landfill can take at once. Old paint is fine in containers of 5 gallons or less, and yard debris goes only in its designated pile.
If you're not sure whether your load counts as household waste, call the solid waste office at (406) 683-3766 (2 South Pacific Street, Suite 12; Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

You'll need a release form with the title or bill of sale; call the junk vehicle administrator at (406) 683-3766. For recycling, the county works with West Electric and Beaverhead Recycling.
