"Happy America Recycle Day" by Mark Nelson, Recycle Montana President!




Fellow Montanans, 

This November 15 will be the 15th anniversary of America Recycles Day! This day
is an opportunity to recognize the daily decision we can all make to save energy and
resources by recycling resources back into our economy.

There will be community events in Shelby, Helena, Miles City, Missoula, Lincoln, and
Dillon. Additional events can still be posted at AmericaRecyclesDay.org or through
RecycleMontana.org. A dozen Montana schools are competing in this year’s national
Recycle Bowl from October 15 to November 9, with the school recycling the most per-
capita guaranteed to win $1,000, with an additional opportunity to compete nationally for
funds to purchase recycling bins.

This year has seen improved recycling across the state, from electronic recycling
events along the Hi-Line to a first-time plastics recycling event in Lewistown.
Communities across the state have seen expanded options to recycle priority items
such as e-waste and traditional recyclables through both events and expanded public
and private services.

Visit Recycle Montana for more details about America Recycles Day events, the
Recycle Bowl results, and recycling in Montana at RecycleMontana.org or (406) 461-
9106. We also work to provide recycling education program for schools across the
state.

Happy America Recycles Day Montana!

Sincerely,

Mark Nelson, President
