Join The Alley Rally And Tidy Up Butte-Silver Bow

Residents looking to tackle summer cleanup projects have another opportunity to dispose of household waste as Butte-Silver Bow’s Alley Rally officially opens for the season. The annual community cleanup program will remain open through Aug. 9 and is designed to help area residents clear out unwanted materials while keeping neighborhoods cleaner throughout the summer months.

The Alley Rally site is located off the 700 block of East Iron Street, between East Iron Street, Warren Avenue and Shields Avenue. Operating hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday, with the site closed each Monday. Officials also noted the facility will be closed July 3 and July 4 for the holiday weekend.

Community members are reminded that demolition and remodeling debris will not be accepted because those materials may contain asbestos. Utility trailers and pull-behind trailers, including homemade trailers, are also prohibited at the Alley Rally site. Anyone arriving with those types of trailers will be redirected to the BSB Landfill at 121074 E. Browns Gulch Road, which is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Accepted items at the Alley Rally include normal household solid waste, wood, metal, glass, sheetrock pieces, grass clippings and leaves. Tree branches are also accepted, although residents are encouraged to break them down beforehand if possible.

Officials emphasized several items are not allowed, including contractor waste, large household furniture such as couches, mattresses and box springs, along with paint, used oil, batteries, tires, car parts, engines, and any flammable or hazardous liquids or materials.

Those using the site are asked to ensure truck loads are covered and loose debris is bagged to help prevent trash from scattering around the community.
