Plastics Recycling Week a success, 4 more days

S.A.V.E.'s plastics recycling week continues for 4 more days, finishing up this next Friday, September 14. Since starting on the 7th, more than 4,000 pounds has been collection (final numbers to be posted later this week), and community participation and quality control has been exceptional. Here are some photos from this afternoon, with S.A.V.E. volunteers Tyler, John and Mel giving type 1 clear plastics a final sort before they are baled by Pacific Steel & Recycling.

S.A.V.E. would like to thank Pacific (baling), General Services of the State of Montana (the location near the Y.M.C.A.), and the City of Helena Public Works, especially the Solid Waste and Recycling division (providing and transporting the bins) for making this program possible.

The next plastics collection with be with Trash for Trees on September 29th at Northgate Plaza on Montana from 9am to 4pm. The next collection week will be December 7-14.
