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!
4/27/17 Due to mechanical difficulties at the Thompson Falls Transfer Site, the acceptance of recycling commodities is TEMPORARILY suspended. All sites will continue to receive clean, flattened cardboard. All county refuse sites will continue the recycling process as soon as possible, and residents will be notified on this website, on flyers, and in the local newspapers. Thank you for your understanding-we are sorry for the inconvenience it will cause! We encourage residents to save their recyclable items at their own homes until this problem is fixed, or take them to Pacific Recycling in Missoula. (543-7280 2600 Latimer Street) Call 827-6942 if you have any questions. Sanders County Actively Promotes Recycling! 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 usually in the summer. Save up your used electronics for the next event! Recycling reduces the amount of refuse we haul to Missoula, and keeps the fees down.

What if we 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. Do your part…do what you can-RECYCLE!
