NOTICE:
Landfill canister sites are for household garbage. Construction material and tree branches need to be taken to the Forsyth transfer station or the Colstrip Landfill.
The offsite canisters are mainly intended for Rosebud County residents who do not have trash pick-up service.
These sites are being monitored, misuse of the disposal sites cause issues for residents and our workers who maintain them. Any person/s found violating the sites may be fined or prosecuted.
Please respect the rules set forth by Rosebud County so that these sites can stay operational.
All Roll-off sites (Rosebud, Ashland, Reservation Creek, Ingomar and Birney) are open 7 days per week, 24 hours per day. It is the Roll-Off site users responsibility to see that all material is deposited inside the container and not extending above or outside the container. Material must be reduced in size as much as possible before depositing in containers.
All loads to the Landfill, Transfer Station and Roll-Off sites are required to be secured and covered or enclosed.
Please be observant of any moving equipment/vehicles. We utilize several types of machinery and vehicles. Please do NOT pass any piece of equipment going the same direction as you. If there is a piece of equipment working where you need to dump, please wait for them off to the side and give them plenty of space to work. We will give you a “thumbs up” when you are clear to unload.
The Attended sites are Rosebud County Landfill at Colstrip and Forsyth Transfer Station.
The Unattended sites are Rosebud, Ashland, Reservation Creek, Ingomar and Birney.
*If NON-County residents use a canister site in Rosebud County, they need to contact the Commissioners office to pay the annual fee. The annual fee for use of a canister site is $125 per year.
(YES) means we will take at the site. (NO) means we will not take at the site.
