(406) 798-3352

Richland County MT in Sidney is the local county waste facility where folks drop off household trash and typical community refuse. Farmers, suburban households and people from nearby small towns use it when hauling out regular loads or cleanup debris. The place is straightforward and laid out for trucks and trailers rather than walk-in foot traffic.

Drive up the main gravel lane and you’ll pass an entry booth and a scale area typical of county sites, so plan for a brief stop at the gate. The yard is mostly open with large piles, roll-off containers and compacting equipment visible from the entrance, and vehicles pull up to different spots depending on what they’re unloading. Recycling or special-material bins are usually grouped to one side while general trash goes to larger cells or drop-off areas. Lines can form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, and winter weather can make the access road rough or slippery.

Before You Go

  • Bring a tarp or straps - loads on trailers shift and local wind can be strong, especially on the highway leading into Sidney.
  • Approach in a truck or vehicle with good clearance; the site surface is often gravel and can get muddy after snowmelt or rain.
  • If hauling bulky items, leave extra time for maneuvering and for any queuing at the entrance booth during busier times.
