Recycling Update / Plastics Recycling Dec 7-14

Recycling update:

At The S.A.V.E. Foundation’s 4th Birthday Bash last week, we celebrated our successes in bringing recycling and environmental awareness to Helena. Community participation and support allows S.A.V.E. to have a large impact. Growing Friends and S.A.V.E. provided Trash for Trees, which had a fall record of nearly 80,000 pounds of material recycled. Trash for Trees is made possible by the support of the City of Helena, City-County Sanitation, Pacific Steel & Recycling, and The Good Samaritan.

We would also like the thank the sponsors of Erase your E*waste, which collected 80,000 pounds of electronic waste last month. The Helena Transfer Station, City-County Sanitation, Montana Department of Environmental Quality, Lewis & Clark City-County Health Department, Lewis & Clark Water Quality Protection District, Lewis & Clark Landfill, and Pacific Steel & Recycling benefited hundreds of Helenans.

The next plastics collection week is Dec. 7-14 next to Centennial Field. We will be accepting type 1 clear, type 2 clear and type 2 color plastic containers. Please remove lids and rinse bottles.

More information about the plastics collection or S.A.V.E.’s programs is available at .http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif

Phone Books Recyclable this Month in Helena!

Pacific Steel and Recycling will be collecting phone books this month at their Helena location at National Avenue. Phone books used to be collected with newspaper, but due to the difficulty of recycling the Yellow Pages (dye), they are now taken seperatly and of less value. Pacific will collect the phone books for the next month while new phone books are making their way to households and businesses. There will be smaller collection site at the City of Helena Transfer Station.
