Yard waste drop-off and free mulch in Montana
In much of the West, yard waste drop-off is called green waste or yard debris drop-off. We list 6 sites in Montana (all from official sources); 3 take brush and branches. 1 of the 6 list a residency or eligibility rule on the source page, so bring ID or a utility bill. 1 does not have a confirmed map pin yet. Coverage for Montana is still thin — many towns and counties run programs we haven't listed yet, so check your city or county public works page too.
By type: 6 yard waste drop-off, 3 brush & branches.
Call ahead. Hours, fees, residency rules and accepted materials change. Call or check the official source page before you go. Every listing links to its source.
