Sanders County Solid Waste Refuse District entails a Transfer Site in Thompson Falls and Roll Off Sites in Plains, Trout Creek, Noxon, and Heron. Please see forms below for schedules, forms and recycling information.
RECYCLING
SANDERS COUNTY ACTIVELY PROMOTES RECYCLING! Due to current market conditions, Sanders County is no longer able to accept plastics for recycling. Please click on the information sheet below titled ‘Current News on Recycling Plastics.’
Check out our Recycling Brochure (under ‘Information’ below) which lists the items we accept. It also gives ideas on what to do with items we can’t take. We have recycling drives such as E-Waste, (used electronics) which occurs in early summer. Save up your used electronics for the next event, which is generally early summer at the TF Transfer Site. Recycling reduces the amount of refuse we haul to Missoula, and keeps the fees down! Click here for more details:
2014 Used Electronics Recycling Event Yielded 9.79 Tons!
Forms, Information & Helpful Links
2018 E-Waste Event Collected 2 tons of used electronics!
WHAT IF WE JUST STOPPED RECYCLING? As a person, you would not see a difference in one day. However, there would be a huge impact on our landfills. On average, each person produces 4.38 lbs. of waste per day. To figure out how much waste would go to the landfills if we quit recycling, multiply 4.38 by 7.125 billion people on earth. That’s 31.2 BILLION pounds of waste that would go to landfills every single day. Sanders County alone recycled 642 tons of product in 2017. Do your part…do what you can-RECYCLE!
