City collection Great Falls bars bulky items from the rollout container and collects them beside it instead: furniture goes to the curb two to three feet from the container on the regular collection day, where a separate brush truck takes the extra items. No charge. City residential solid waste customers paying the published monthly collection rate, with the piece set out beside the rollout container on the regular collection day; a large accumulation that takes longer than two minutes to load may be charged at 12.00 per minute.
City collection The city's collection, rate and code pages do not name mattresses, so a mattress has to be confirmed with the Solid Waste Division as a bulky item before it is set out, even though bulky items are collected beside the container. No published city rate names a mattress, and only the extra pickup rates of 24.00 for a 96 gallon container and 34.00 for a 300 gallon container plus 12.00 per minute are published, so confirm the item and how it will be billed with Solid Waste on 406-771-1401.
City collection White goods such as washers, dryers and hot water tanks are collected by arrangement with the Solid Waste Division, and a refrigerator, air conditioning unit or freezer is picked up with the CFCs removed for a higher published rate. From $27 per large appliance on a scheduled special pickup, from 27.00 for a washer, dryer or hot water tank up to 85.00 for a refrigerator, air conditioning unit or freezer because the CFCs are removed. City residential solid waste customers arranging the pickup with the Solid Waste Division on 406-771-1401.
City collection Bulky items and sacks of leaves or grass go beside the rollout container on the collection day and are picked up by a separate brush truck, while the container itself may not hold bulky items, yard waste, propane or liquids.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Great Falls runs its own collection rather than contracting it out, and the useful detail is what the city does with the things that do not fit the rollout container. Bulky items are barred from the container, so a couch or another oversized piece is set at the curb two to three feet from the container on the collection day, where a separate truck called the brush truck takes the extra items. The same day handles yard waste, bagged and placed four feet from the container, and tree branches cut into four foot lengths and tied or boxed. White goods are different because they carry published rates and have to be arranged by phone: a washer, dryer or hot water tank is collected for a special pickup charge, and a refrigerator, air conditioner or freezer costs more because the CFCs are removed. Paint, solvents, propane and liquids never go in the container. Paint is dried out with kitty litter or sand and put in the regular garbage, propane bottles go to Breen Oil, and the rest of the household chemicals wait for the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day, which the city's Environmental Division runs with Veolia and has scheduled for the spring of 2027. Electronics leave the curbside route entirely: Staples takes tech recycling free, Batteries and Bulbs charges for portable devices and batteries, and Pacific Steel takes electronic scrap except CRTs and flat screens.
Great Falls bars bulky items from the rollout container and collects them beside it instead: furniture goes to the curb two to three feet from the container on the regular collection day, where a separate brush truck takes the extra items.

The city's collection, rate and code pages do not name mattresses, so a mattress has to be confirmed with the Solid Waste Division as a bulky item before it is set out, even though bulky items are collected beside the container.
City cost & eligibility
No published city rate names a mattress, and only the extra pickup rates of 24.00 for a 96 gallon container and 34.00 for a 300 gallon container plus 12.00 per minute are published, so confirm the item and how it will be billed with Solid Waste on 406-771-1401.

White goods such as washers, dryers and hot water tanks are collected by arrangement with the Solid Waste Division, and a refrigerator, air conditioning unit or freezer is picked up with the CFCs removed for a higher published rate.
City cost & eligibility
From $27 per large appliance on a scheduled special pickup, from 27.00 for a washer, dryer or hot water tank up to 85.00 for a refrigerator, air conditioning unit or freezer because the CFCs are removed. City residential solid waste customers arranging the pickup with the Solid Waste Division on 406-771-1401.

The city publishes no curbside electronics route, and the local network is split: Staples takes tech recycling free year round, Batteries and Bulbs charges a fee for portable electronics and batteries, and Pacific Steel takes electronic scrap except CRTs and flat screens.
City cost & eligibility
Staples is listed as a free tech recycling drop-off, Batteries and Bulbs charges a fee to recycle, and Pacific Steel does not accept CRTs or flat screens, so a television or monitor has to be confirmed with a recycler before it is dropped off.
When & how
Drop-offs follow each store's own published hours, and the city operates no curbside electronics collection.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before handover, keep the device whole, remove any battery that the receiving store asks for, and call first about a television or monitor because the local electronic scrap route excludes CRTs and flat screens.
The city's published solid waste rate schedule includes drop box and construction dumpster service priced per pick-up plus rental fees, which is the city route for a demolition or remodel load.

Keep construction material out of the residential rollout container, confirm the drop box size and the disposal charge with the Solid Waste Division, and secure any self-hauled load because the county landfill can impose a 10.00 fine for an unsecured load.
Exercise equipment is not named in the city's collection rules or rate schedule, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed with the Solid Waste Division before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility

When & how
Confirm the item first, then set it out on the household's regular collection day with the container out by 7 am.
Get it ready
Break the machine down so it can be handled at the curb, keep it out of the rollout container, and describe the item and its weight when confirming acceptance.

When & how
The next event is in the spring of 2027, day to be announced, at the corner of 1st St. S and 3rd Ave. S from 9am to 1pm.

Bulky items go beside the container, never inside it
The rollout container takes household rubbish only, and the city bars bulky items, yard waste, propane bottles and containers, and liquids such as paint and other solvents from it. A couch or another large piece is set at the curb 2 to 3 feet from the container on the regular collection day, where a separate brush truck picks up the extra items, and yard waste and bundled branches go out 4 feet from the container on the same day.
Containers go out after 6 pm and no later than 7 am
Containers may be placed out after 6 pm the evening before collection but no later than 7 am on the collection day, and they have to be taken back off the public right of way afterwards. Collection days vary by area of town, and the Solid Waste Office confirms the day on 406-771-1401. City code also requires all garbage in residential containers to be wrapped in paper or plastic, and extraordinary accumulations go in containers no bigger than 32 gallons.
White goods and drop boxes carry published rates, bulky extras do not
The city's rate schedule sets special pickup charges only for white goods, at 27.00 for a large appliance and 85.00 for a large appliance with Freon, while a bulky item set out with the regular collection carries no separate rate unless a large accumulation takes longer than two minutes to load, when the city may charge 12.00 per minute. Extra pickup of a 96 gallon container is 24.00 and a 300 gallon container is 34.00. A remodel load goes in a city drop box instead, priced per pick-up from 81.00 for a 3 yard construction dumpster up to 569.00 for a 40 yard container, each plus rental fees and disposal by weight.
Chemicals, paint and propane leave the collection route
Paint and other solvents are barred from the container, and propane bottles are not collected at all. Paint can be dried out with sand or kitty litter, bagged and placed in a regular container, propane bottles can be taken to Breen Oil Company at 2201 NW Bypass free of charge, and the rest of the household chemicals wait for the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day, where the city accepts antifreeze, gasoline, lighter fluid, paint thinner, road flares, shellac, fertilizer, pesticides, cleaners and similar material while refusing latex based paint and mercury.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
