Trash for Trees a Success!
This years Trash for Trees with Growing Friends and The S.A.V.E. Foundation was a record success, with nearly 100,000 pounds of recyclables collected. The event took place on April 28 and went from 9am to 4pm at Northgate Plaza. The event raised around $2,000 for planting trees in Helena and expanding recycling in Helena. The 98,891 pounds of recycling collected included 48,982 pounds of paper (newspaper, magazine, office paper), 22,260 pounds of glass, 19,406 pounds of corrugated cardboard, 3,078 pounds of steel cans, 2,372 pounds of aluminum cans, and 2,793 pounds of plastic.
Special thanks to City of Helena, City-County Sanitation, Pacific Steel & Recycling, and all the community participation that made this event possible.
The next Trash for Trees collection will be this coming September. S.A.V.E.'s upcoming plastics recycling drives will be June 1-8 and September 7-14 at 1100 Last Chance Gulch (former guard armory, next to the YMCA parking lot).
