Client Case in the Missoulian

Trash disposal company seeks to compete with Republic Services in Missoula

by David Erickson
A Bozeman-based residential trash removal service, L&L Site Services, is once again asking the state government to allow it to compete with Republic Services, the only garbage disposal company in Missoula.
​

The Montana Public Service Commission began a weeklong hearing Monday about the matter.

Republic Services, one of the largest such companies in the country, has a monopoly on the service in Missoula County and owns the landfill.

Lance Johnson, the owner of L&L Site Services, wants to compete in Missoula and says his company can provide lower prices and improved services. Under Montana law, motor carrier companies that provide a public service and use public roads, such as taxi providers and garbage haulers, are allowed to have a monopoly in certain communities unless a competitor can prove that there is a demonstrable need and they can improve the service.

The five-member commission will now decide whether Missoula would be better served by having competition.
