Also, Public Works personnel may perform pick-up of various items and transport them to the Sanders County dump-site on Little Bitterroot Rd, such as fridges and ovens, but the owner must pay the associated fee prior to or at time of pick up. This service is ONLY offered June – September.

For those who will remove the Acceptable Waste themselves, you may schedule a time to dump that waste at the Town equipment yard. Absolutely no self-serve dumping. You must schedule and request permission with Town Hall, and pay the associated fees of $20 per truck load (standard pick-up truck).

In addition, Republic Services offers in-town garbage pickup for a fee.  You must contact Republic Services to arrange for this service. https://www.republicservices.com/locations/montana/ronan-trash-pickup-and-recycling
