State Recycling Policy

The public comment period for State Recycling Policy ends on July 2.
An interim committee of the Legislature known as the Environmental Quality Council (EQC) is looking at ways to boost recycling as a proposal brought forth by Senate Joint Resolution supported by S.A.V.E. during the 2009 legislature. The committee’s draft report is available for public viewing at http://leg.mt.gov/content/committees/interim/2009_2010/environmental_quality_council/staff_reports/2010-recycling-public-comment.pdf.
According to a DEQ study in 2004, recycling provided more than $90 million in economic activity with $9 million in wages.
