Residential

Bitterroot Disposal offers residential garbage service throughout Ravalli County, Montana. Our automated side load trucks can be scheduled to collect trash on a weekly or monthly basis.

Residential Garbage Containers

Cart Placement for Automated Service

Please place your container at the pickup location the night before your scheduled pickup day. We also suggest pulling it back to your property the same day it’s emptied. Place container with handles facing away from the street. Containers damaged through normal use will be repaired or replaced free of charge. Please bag all garbage.

Why it's important to bag all garbage:

Reduces odors that invite insects, birds and animals
Reduces littering
Keeps trash containers cleaner
Minimizes injury for waste collectors

Weekly - 90 gallon cart - Green with green lid

Monthly - 90 gallon cart – Green with black lid
