The West Yellowstone Hebgen Compost Facility is a waste disposal facility located in the picturesque West Yellowstone Hebgen Basin area of Montana. Surrounded by stunning mountain ranges and bordering Yellowstone National Park, this facility serves as the primary waste collection and disposal center for the region, including the waste generated within the national park. With its remote location and fluctuating population due to tourism, the facility faces unique challenges in waste management.
Managed by the West Yellowstone Hebgen Basin Solid Waste District Board, which is appointed by the Gallatin County Commission, the facility accepts a variety of materials for disposal, including regular household waste, clean wood, refrigerators, manure, and yard trimmings. However, certain materials such as gasoline, toxic waste, and large concrete pieces are prohibited. The facility operates on a fee-based system, with rates effective from July 1, 2023.
