Reliable Residential Trash Collection in Butte, MT
Without waste removal, excess domestic waste can have serious negative effects. This is why it is important to see to it that trash is handled and disposed of properly. Trash collection is critical to ensuring a clean environment and the health and safety of both humans and animals. However, for the best services, choose a reliable garbage collection service. Here at McGree Trucking, we provide quality, effective, and efficient waste collection and curbside recycling services.
Here's what to know about our residential trash collection services.
​
Acceptable Things To Throw Away
Not all waste can be thrown in the trash bin. Only put household items in the trash. You should never throw commonly known hazardous materials, medical waste, electronics, batteries, tires, dirt, or cement in the trash. Just simple day-to-day household trash.​
Please Note: refrigerators, freezers, oil, tires, and paint are not allowed to be dumped in our cans.

Trash Collection for Residents in Butte/Silver Bow
Regarding garbage collection, how you bag your trash and where you place it can matter. Proper bagging plays an important role in helping to contain and control garbage, while correct placement ensures safe and efficient trash collection.
​
Does My Trash Need To Be Bagged In A Certain Way?
Generally, your trash does not need to be bagged in a certain way. However, we ask that grass be bagged because it sticks to the side of the can, making it difficult to remove. Also, be sure not to wedge items into or stuff your trash can so tight that it is difficult to empty the contents.
Where To Place Your Trash Container In The Street
For safety, the trash container should be placed at least three feet from obstacles such as telephone poles, cars, garages, fences, and garage eaves. It should also be placed so that the lid opens towards the truck. Lastly, the hinges of the container should face away from the truck.
​
