Residential Garbage Collection

The Solid Waste Collection Division offers service to all residents of Bozeman.  We have a wide variety of containers available to choose from, to meet individual needs.  If you need help deciding what size container you need, please call the Solid Waste Division Foreman at 582-3237 for assistance.

Residential property owners who are interested in using City of Bozeman trash collection service can call 582-2332 or go to City Hall at 121 N Rouse in Bozeman to sign up.

In observance of some National holidays, collection service will be one day late for the entire week.  On those weeks, if your normal collection day is Monday, your tote will be emptied on Tuesday, and normal Thursday totes will be emptied on Friday etc.  The list of holidays we will be a day behind the normal schedule can be found here, or call 582-2273 for more information.

How to minimize problems with your garbage collection:

• Leave a three to four foot clearance from other objects.
• Customers are encouraged to bag their trash in order to reduce littering as the totes are emptied.
• Please ensure the container is accessible to the truck by 7:00 am, or the night before.
• Customers without alley access should place their tote next to the curb for pickup.
• If unsure of your collection day, or for more information, please call 582-2273, or 582-3237.
