Small county solid waste site used by Polson residents and folks from nearby rural areas. It handles everyday household trash, yard debris and the usual recycling drop-offs that people bring when cleaning out garages or yards. Expect a working, no-frills place rather than a polished recycling center.
Drive in on N Reservoir Rd to a fenced lot with an entrance booth and open tipping areas; plenty of room for trucks and trailers. There is usually a place to pull up to be weighed or checked, so plan for a short stop before dumping and another on the way out if a scale is in use. Recycling containers tend to sit off to one side and piles of brush or construction material are visible in the main yard. The surface is gravel and can be muddy in wet weather, with larger equipment moving about, so keep a safe distance from loaders and compactors.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring loads reasonably sorted and tied down so unloading is quick - loose debris can take much longer to deal with.
- Avoid weekend mornings during spring cleanup if possible; those times usually have the longest lines.
- Dress for the weather and road conditions - the access road and yard can be rough or icy in winter, and the site is outdoors with little shelter.
