Have you ever wondered whether your efforts to recycle are making a difference? Or why some items can go in the recycling bin while others cannot? Join us to take a closer look at how recycling in Bozeman works.

Nick Ross, the city of Bozeman's director of transportation and engineering, and Dave Leverett, owner of We Recycle Montana, will explore the impact of local and regional recycling. Learn about the current state of recycling in the Gallatin Valley, commercial opportunities, and the challenges faced by both consumers and providers in keeping materials out of the landfill.
