Upcoming glass recycling event

The Seeley Lake Community Foundation, in partnership with Missoula-based nonprofit Recycling Works, will hold the last glass recycling drop-off event of the year in Seeley Lake from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Oct. 12.

Community members are invited to bring their glass to the parking lot of the Foundation Building, where Recycling Works staff will help load clean glass into their recycling trailer.

The Foundation Building is located at 3150 MT Hwy 83 N, in downtown Seeley Lake. You can sign up to receive a text message the week before the event at: https://www.seeleylake communityfoundation.org/glass-recycling

Recycling Works can accept all colors of clean, Food Grade glass, and glass with labels. Please remove food, lids and residue. Other types of glass (windows, light bulbs, Pyrex, etc) are not accepted.

There is a suggested $1 donation per gallon of glass, which will benefit Seeley Lake Elementary School.

At each drop-off, local non-profit Charlie’s Helping Hands will double all donations received, up to $1,500 per event. This match opportunity is a win-win-win for local students, the environment and your pocketbook. Since 2021, this program has resulted in over $16,600 donated to local schools, as well as 28,500 pounds of glass recycled.
