Recycling in Sidney: A Local Guide
Sidney, the county seat of Richland County in eastern Montana, has two recycling facilities that together cover most of what residents and agricultural businesses need to divert from the landfill. The facilities complement each other neatly: one handles common household recyclables and the other takes scrap metal and farm scrap.
Richland Opportunities Inc. (ROI), at 1100 Silurian Lane, is a nonprofit community recycling drop-off where adults with developmental disabilities sort and process incoming materials as part of a supported-employment program. ROI accepts aluminum cans, newspaper, magazines, office paper, corrugated cardboard, and plastics in resin codes #1 (PET), #2 (HDPE), #5 (PP), and #7. Plastics #3, #4, and #6 are not accepted. The drop-off is open to the public Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–4:00 PM; no appointment or residency proof is required.
Border Steel & Recycling, at 35002 Co Rd 123 (off Sidney), is a family-owned metal recycler and new-steel supplier founded in 1985. Beyond walk-in scrap drop-off, the company offers on-site scrap pickup, scrap bin containers, and on-site tin baling — useful for farms and construction sites with large or recurring volumes. Hours are Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–5:00 PM; closed weekends. Pricing and any ID requirements are not published online, so call (406) 433-7737 before your first visit.
