Yard, wood and stump material

Accepted with preparation

Yard and wood material is the one waste stream the city runs itself: the Garden City Compost drop-off on Clark Fork Lane takes brush, sod and soil, yard waste, dimensional lumber, pallets, sawdust, chipped material and clean stumps, with published stump fees and a prior approval rule for larger projects.

City cost & eligibility
From $3 per small load or car of other material at the Garden City Compost drop-off, with published tiers for trucks and trailers, sawdust at no cost, chipped material priced per ten cubic yards, separate stump fees and prior approval required for projects over ten trees or stumps. Households hauling material to 1125 Clark Fork Lane, where payment is taken at the Green Waste Inspector's booth and stumps must be clean of dirt and rock before they are accepted.
When & how
Haul the material to 1125 Clark Fork Lane and stop at the Green Waste Inspector's booth to pay and be directed where to dump, and call 406-552-6619 for prior approval if the project is larger than ten trees or stumps.
Get it ready
Separate chipped material, sawdust and clean stumps from brush, lumber and yard waste, and clean every stump of dirt and rock, because stumps are refused otherwise.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self-haul in Missoula means one destination for green material and a phone call for everything else. The city runs Garden City Compost at 1125 Clark Fork Lane, where brush, sod and soil, yard waste, dimensional lumber, pallets, sawdust, chipped material and clean stumps are taken, payment goes to the Green Waste Inspector's booth, stumps must be clean of dirt and rock, a project larger than ten trees or stumps needs prior approval on 406-552-6619, and the published prices start at the small load rate with tiers for trucks and trailers. Everything else is private: the city states that it does not provide trash hauling or disposal services, so a household books its own collection company for garbage and for bulky items such as mattresses, couches, appliances and electronics, and household chemicals go to Missoula Public Health on 406-258-4755 by appointment. Recycling is separate again, because Recycling Works runs curbside glass, multi-stream and compost collection.
