Effective immediately: if you would like to participate in the City of Helena Blue Bag program you need to contact 447-8086 and be put on a route.  This applies to existing as well as new customers.   Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Aluminum and steel cans in one bag changed to: 

• Aluminum cans in one bag
  
  
• steel cans in another

Newsprint in one and magazines in another.

These are the only items accepted in the blue bags for recycling.

NO plastics, glass, junk mail or materials of any other types will be collected.

THINGS TO REMEMBER:

Blue bags are picked up once a month during “Recycling Week”.

“Recycling Week” always starts on the first Monday of the month even if there is a holiday. On weeks with a holiday, your recycling may not be picked up on the usual day but it will be picked up that same week.

Bags must be out by 7:00 am on your scheduled trash collection day.
