Keeping our community and the environment free of solid waste, junk vehicles, and contamination is vital to community health. Property owners are responsible for maintaining their property in compliance with the rules and regulations to keep us safe.
Junk Vehicles
In 1973 the Montana Motor Vehicle Recycling and Disposal Act was enacted for the establishment, control, operation, and licensing of public and private motor vehicle wrecking facilities.
This law requires commercial and county motor vehicle storage and wrecking yards to obtain an annual license, keep pertinent records and shield their junk vehicles from public view. This law also enforces removal of junk vehicles at locations other than motor vehicle wrecking facilities.
The Junk Vehicle program is funded through a small fee assessed during vehicle registration. State law defines junk vehicles and operation of the program at the state level. Vehicles released to the program are then remediated, harmful components removed, and then recycled.
