Helpful Recycling Hints

• Flatten plastic.
• Rinse all containers. It is okay to leave paper labels on plastic bottles and    cans. Remove the cap.
• Recycle only rinsed plastic bottles with a #1 or #2 label on the bottom.
• If you bag your paper, place all paper in BROWN PAPER BAGS.  All other items should be placed loosely in the recycle bin.
• Keep recyclables separate.

 The Lincoln Conservation District is currently working with Lincoln County Department of Environmental Health, county officials and Recycle Eureka to implement recycling education.  In 2009 the District received a $10,300.00 grant from the Montana Department of Natural Resource Management to provide financial assistance to purchase recycling trailers for Eureka, equipment and educational materials to increase public awareness to promote recycling and waste reduction Lincoln County.  Lincoln County Department of Environmental Health officials received a Montana Department of Environmental Quality Recycling Infrastructure Grant in the amount of $25,000.00 to help defray the cost of the recycling trailers in Libby and Troy.
