Grass Roots Recycling

The Lincoln Conservation District is currently working with Lincoln County Department of Environmental Health, county officials and Recycle Eureka to implement a pilot recycling program. 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, equipment and educational materials to increase public awareness to promote recycling ande waste reduction Lincoln County. 

On November 7, 2009 a ribbon cutting ceremony was held at the recycling center in Eureka. The facility is named in honor of Carol Tapp. 

In January 2010 two (2) recycling trailers were delivered to the North Lincoln County Annex. These trailers have bins available to receive aluminum, steel cans, paper, newsprint and plastics #1 and #2. Stein's Family Market in Eureka currently accepts cardboard for recycling. The county will provide the necessary staff to maintain the drop-off locations and equipment to transport the recyclables to the recycling facilities.

Recycling trailers for Libby and Troy are in the process of being ordered for placement. Lincoln County Department of Environmental Health officials have applied for a Montana Department of Environmental Quality Recycling Infrastructure Grant to help defray the cost of the recycling trailers.

For more information on the recycling program, please call the Environmental Health Department at 293-7781 or from Eureka 296-0404.
