About This Location

Belgrade Recycling is one of 14 free public drop-off bin sites run by the Gallatin Solid Waste Management District, located near W Madison Ave & Eileen Place (past Montana Energy Alliance). The outdoor, unstaffed bins accept cardboard, mixed paper, aluminum and steel cans, and #1 and #2 plastic bottles at no charge. It is a bins-only site — no attendant, no glass, and no bulky or hazardous items — so sort and flatten your recyclables before you arrive.
