complete with public service announcements, flyers, videos and more that local recycling
programs can use for free! Take a look at the resources and materials available, maybe there is
something you can use in your community.
3. Emergency, Disaster and Demolition Debris Management Workshops
These workshops take place in North Dakota but may be of interest to solid waste managers and
government officials in Montana given our own recent experiences with flooding and leaking
pipelines. The workshops are made possible by a grant from the USDA and are held through
August 15th at different locations in North Dakota. Check out their brochure for dates and
details: http://deq.mt.gov/Recycle/pdf/USDAGrantWorkshops.pdf
