We respect the hard-working employees of the Montana Public Service Commission and the brilliant legal minds representing the corporations that oppose us. However, our mission is to safeguard our personal freedoms and our right to pursue the business of our choice.
Speed Dumpster’s permit is being protested by giant corporate companies.
(Related Docket: 2024.04.041) (Application for PCN)
They aim to block our permit. These large corporations use the permit protest process to drain small local businesses with legal fees, creating a barrier that only other large, out-of-state trash companies can overcome. This tactic stifles competition, contributing to rising taxes and prices.

These corporations are accountable only to their shareholders and prioritize profits over the well-being of our local communities. While we may not have perfect solutions, we believe we have meaningful improvements that can make a significant difference in the Flathead Valley. After all, nobody cares more about the environment in the Flathead Valley than its citizens.
We need the help of our community to overcome these challenges. If you think prices for trash services are too high due to the lack of healthy competition, if you are experiencing a loss of productivity due to the slow service of the monopoly companies, or other mistreatment, and find that they are unable to move the amount of material you need, please consider signing the affidavit or talking to us at Speed Dumpster. Signing the affidavit will give you the right to speak up at the hearing.
The only viable path forward is to resist these infringements both personally and communally. We invite you to join us in this effort. Share your ideas with us and help shape a future that values freedom, community, and sustainability. Together, we can create positive change.
There will be a public comment period available for community members to speak from September 30, 2024, to October 2, 2024. Your voice matters, and your support can make a difference.
Respectfully,
Seth Sutherland
