MISSOULA — Republic Services is digging a trench on the hillside of its Missoula landfill along Interstate 90 to relocate a natural gas pipeline.
The excavation, which resembles a large ditch, is visible above Reserve Street and I-90 near mile marker 101.
After receiving questions about the work, we reached out to Republic Services for details. A company representative said crews are moving the pipeline from a different part of the landfill.
“We are working with a third‑party contractor to relocate a long‑standing natural gas pipeline operated by a utility provider in an undeveloped area of the landfill,” a Republic Services representative said in a statement to MTN.
