Landfill
Butte-Silver Bow Landfill Public Works Department
121074 E Browns Gulch Rd, Butte, MT 59701
(406) 782-1463A county landfill out past Browns Gulch, used by locals, contractors and haulers from around Butte and surrounding areas. It’s the place trash ends up when curbside or transfer options aren’t an option, and commercial trucks drop off larger loads here too.
Drive in to a single entry point with a scale and a small check-in booth, so plan to stop twice if you’re being weighed. Bring a secure load-windy Montana days mean loose material can blow out of open trucks. The site itself is large, with rolling dirt piles and heavy equipment working the cells; follow directions from the booth for where to pull up and dump. Weekend mornings and spring cleanups get busy, and winter weather can make the access road slow or slippery.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down or cover loads before leaving home so nothing blows out on the road or at the site.
- Have paperwork ready for commercial loads or multiple-vehicle deliveries to speed up the check-in process.
- Expect slower travel times in winter and allow extra time for queuing on weekends and during seasonal cleanups.
