Cleanup

Smurfit Stone Site

• Smurfit Stone is a former pulp mill that is going through the Superfund process to address risks across the 3,200 acre site. Contaminants of concern onsite include metals, dioxins/furans, and co-planar PCBs.
• More information can be found at the Frenchtown Community Advisory Group meeting the first Thursday of the month at 6pm at the Frenchtown Fire Station on Marion St.
• The Water Quality District leads Missoula County review of clean-up sites to ensure clean-up protects our sole-source aquifer, limits risks to the community and environment, and that these areas can once again be put to use.

In 1973 the Montana Motor Vehicle Recycling and Disposal Act was enacted for the establishment, control, operation, and licensing of public and private motor vehicle wrecking facilities.

This law requires commercial and county motor vehicle storage and wrecking yards to obtain an annual license, keep pertinent records and shield their junk vehicles from public view. This law also enforces removal of junk vehicles at locations other than motor vehicle wrecking facilities.

The Junk Vehicle program is funded through a small fee assessed during vehicle registration. State code defines junk vehicles and operation of the program at the state level. Vehicles released to the program are then remediated, harmful components removed, and then recycled.

If you have a junk vehicle you want to have hauled away for free, complete the Release of Ownership form below. If you have questions please contact [email protected]

Solid waste, garbage, kitchen refuse, etc. should be disposed of properly each week. Illegal dumping happens and while we work to find the responsible party, the property owner is ultimately responsible. See Regulation 3 for the specifics or report an issue via the form below.
