General Statement of Duties / Distinguishing Features of the Class

Are you ready to take charge of a vital operation that keeps our city-county clean, safe, and environmentally responsible? As the Landfill Attendant, you’ll oversee the disposition of approved articles and materials at the City-County landfill, ensuring that every item is handled with care, compliance, and efficiency. This isn’t just about waste management—it’s about stewardship. You’ll play a key role in protecting public health, supporting sustainability efforts, and maintaining the integrity of one of our community’s most essential services.

This is responsible public service and clerical work involving the control of use of the landfill area, and preparation of related records and reports. The work is performed under the direct supervision of the Landfill Supervisor, but some leeway is granted for the exercise of independent judgment. The nature of the work performed requires that an employee in this class establish and maintain close cooperative working relationships with supervisory personnel, other division personnel, and the general public. Because employees in this class may be located in environments associated with frequent public contact and need to explain and enforce regulations, the work may be performed under considerable stress.

This position is covered under a Collective Bargaining Agreement between the City-County of Butte-Silver Bow and the Federation of Butte-Silver Bow Public Employees, Local no. 4372, MFPE Clerks.
