    How it works

    Butte-Silver Bow's main landfill at 121074 N. Browns Gulch Road, Butte, MT 59701, 5 miles west of Butte near the I-90/Rocker interchange. Open 7 days a week 8:00 a.m.–5:15 p.m. for large loads; bagged household garbage until 5:30 p.m. Loads must be tarped ($20 fee otherwise). Filed as a program because the Census geocoder could not match the address.
