Solid / Hazardous Waste Program

The Blackfeet Solid / Hazardous Waste Department of the Blackfeet Environmental Office currently oversees all solid and hazardous waste related issues.

The Solid / Hazardous Waste Department is responsible for the closure of the Blackfeet Nation landfill which has been in operation since 1976. The landfill was considered non-compliant by Environmental Protection Agency standards and the closure process has taken nearly 10 years. The expected completed closure date will take three more phases or about three years.

In addition, Blackfeet Solid / Hazardous Waste investigates reported illegal dumps. If you would like to report an illegal dump and the individual responsible or have a question pertaining to solid waste please call the Blackfeet Environmental Office immediately at 406-338-7421.
