City Of Helena Solid Waste Division

Small-city solid waste site used by Helena residents and nearby rural folks hauling household trash, yard clippings and recyclables. It sits in town at 316 N Park Ave, so many people drop by between errands rather than making a long drive. Winters can make access slower, so plan trips accordingly.

Expect a modest, working-yard feel rather than a polished retail lot - piles, bins and covered bays are typical. Most solid waste facilities have an entrance booth and a place to pull up close to it, with larger trucks and trailers using the turn-around area; be prepared to maneuver a bit. There will usually be clearly separate containers for general trash and for recyclables or yard waste, with signs or attendants directing traffic. Weekends and spring clean-up bring lines, and winter weather can narrow driving areas and slow dumping.
