New High-Visibility Clothing Requirement at Logan Landfill Enhances Safety Measures
The Gallatin Solid Waste Management District (GSWMD) announces the implementation of a new safety protocol at Logan Landfill to ensure the well-being of all visitors and staff.
Effective March 1, all people exiting their vehicles in designated areas where heavy equipment is in operation are required to wear high-visibility (hi-vis) clothing. A minimum of 400 square inches of high-visibility material is mandatory. Hats do not fulfill this requirement.
This measure aims to enhance safety by increasing visibility in high-risk zones.
From March 1 through March 29, reusable hi-vis vests will be provided at no cost to customers lacking appropriate attire. Starting March 31, a $3 fee will be applied for each vest issued to individuals without compliant hi-vis clothing.
Logan Landfill, managed by GSWMD, is dedicated to maintaining a safe environment for both visitors and employees. It is currently open for summer hours:
- Monday – Friday: 7 a.m. – 5 p.m.
- Saturday: 7 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
For more information on the hi-vis clothing policy or other services, please contact GSWMD at 406-582-2495 or visit our website at www.gallatinsolidwaste.com.
