NOTICE
The Public Works Department has been using 300 gallon containers and five green six yard metal bins for recycling cardboard. There has been an increasing amount of garbage being thrown into these containers which hinders the Recycling Program. These containers are for corrugated cardboard only. The 300 gallon containers are marked “cardboard only”. Cardboard such as pop containers are not corrugated.
Please help us to keep this program going and only use these containers for the intended purpose. The City of Colstrip does not want to end this great program.
Thank you for your assistance.
