37.111.117 SOLID WASTE
Operative Text
(1) Solid waste must be collected, stored, and disposed of in a manner that does not create a sanitary nuisance. (2) Solid waste must be removed from the premises at least weekly to a licensed solid waste disposal facility or at another frequency approved by the local regulatory authority. (3) Solid waste may not be burned on the premises. (4) Solid waste containers must be rodent-proof, stable, and protected from deterioration. (5) Solid waste containers must be sufficiently covered when not in use to prevent the entry of water or flies.
Mont. Admin. R. 37.111.117 establishes standards for how solid waste must be handled at residential premises in Montana. Waste must be collected, stored, and disposed of without creating a sanitary nuisance, removed at least weekly to a licensed disposal facility (or at a locally approved frequency), and never burned on-site. Containers used to hold waste must be rodent-proof, structurally stable, resistant to deterioration, and kept covered when not in use to block water and insects.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Mont. Admin. R. 37.111.117, compliant property operators generally ensure that solid waste containers on their properties are durable, rodent-proof, and kept covered when not actively in use. They arrange for waste removal at least once per week—or at whatever alternative frequency the local regulatory authority has approved—and transport waste to a licensed solid waste disposal facility. Burning waste on the premises is prohibited, and operators typically document their disposal arrangements to demonstrate ongoing compliance.

Mont. Admin. R. 37.111.117 gives tenants a basis to expect that solid waste at their residence is managed in a way that does not create unsanitary or pest-related conditions. If containers are deteriorating, uncovered, or waste is not being removed regularly, tenants may raise these conditions as a potential violation of this rule. General enforcement paths can include contacting the local regulatory authority or a Montana tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
