They provide group home services, a work shop environment, community living, and community employment services. They also provide a recycling service, sell handcrafted wood furniture, and operate a thrift store called Woods & Goods. Eastern Montana Industries recently released recycling totals for 2011, noting that 1.8 millions pounds of materials were processed through their center during this past year. Leading the way was over 900,000 pounds of cardboard and nearly 450,000 pounds of newspaper. Other materials recycled during this past year included glass, clothing, aluminum, plastics, magazines, office paper, and phone books. EMI notes that since the inception of the community recycling center in 1991 that over 21.5 million pounds of waste material have been diverted from the Miles City Landfill. These efforts have not only helped extend the life of the landfill, but have also made Miles City one of the “greener” communities in Montana. Since most of the materials that EMI recycles are not profitable, few other communities can offer such a wide variety of recycling services. As a nonprofit corporation that provides vocational and residential services to adults with disabilities, EMI depends heavily upon local support for its recycling operation. Revenue generated through the sale of recycled material fluctuates widely with the world economy, and is used primarily to pay the wages of disabled workers at the center. Eastern Montana Industries always welcomes donations or other support to help cover other expenses associated with our recycling operation, including equipment repair/replacement and transportation of materials to markets. If you are interested in providing support, or are simply interested in recycling in Miles City, please give us a call at (406) 234-3740.
