Rates in effect since October 1, 2024. TVs are no longer taken as electronics recycling; they're trash now, so bring them to the transfer station and pay the fee rather than putting them in your blue can. Construction loads over two dump truck loads a day must be scheduled, and pieces must be under 10 feet long.
Park County's solid waste assessment is $278 a year for each home and comes with two hanging tags (orange for 2026); extra or replacement tags are $10 from the Accounting Office, (406) 222-4135. Display the tag when you use a site. The collection sites take household waste only: no furniture, bulky items or construction debris, which go to a licensed landfill or transfer station. County residents can also recycle at the city transfer station.
