The City of Billings runs municipal curbside collection and the Billings Regional Landfill, which also serves county residents and regional haulers. Unincorporated Yellowstone County residents arrange service through private haulers or self-haul to the landfill; there is no countywide mandatory-collection ordinance.
Solid-waste collection in Yellowstone County is city- and hauler-based, not county-run. The City of Billings Solid Waste Division provides weekly curbside garbage service inside city limits and operates the Billings Regional Landfill — Montana's largest — which serves residential and business customers within Yellowstone County plus regional haulers under agreement. Collection crews can only collect garbage from the public right-of-way and cannot enter private property. Items over 75 pounds are not collected by regular crews. In the unincorporated county, residents contract private haulers (for example MacKenzie Disposal) or self-haul; the county does not impose a uniform collection schedule.
Billings solid-waste rules are enforced under city ordinance 23-5849; service violations (overfilled or improperly set-out carts) can prompt warnings or missed pickups.
