The Great Falls area's dump is the High Plains Landfill at 142 Powerline Road near Floweree, northeast of the city, run by Republic Services. It's open Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. (to 4 p.m. October through April, to 5 p.m. May through September).
Rural Cascade County households in the solid waste district also have eight staffed rural collection sites, open with a punch card, and city residents can set bulky items and bagged yard waste beside the cart for the city's brush truck.
