This Missoula summer was one to remember. The weather barely got above 90 degrees, and we made it through August with few fires and clean, breathable air. We know this won’t be the norm, but we can appreciate it while it lasts.

This summer was also a banner year for Home ReSource and our amazing city, county, and partners in efforts to keep waste out of the landfill and reach our ZERO-by-FIFTY goals.

Working with the Western Montana Fair, we had 170 amazing Green Team volunteers on site every minute of the event, sorting trash into compost and recyclables. We kept a a record 66,000 pounds of compost out of the landfill ! While w e didn’t quite reach our Zero Waste goal of 90% diversion, we got awfully close and are optimistic that next year will be the year we do it
