At Studio Montage Salon & Spa in Great Falls, there is a seemingly inconspicuous tall, white cardboard box filled with used personal protective equipment.

“Masks, face shields, gloves. All our Clorox wipes,” said Celeste Smith, a manager at the salon, describing the PPE in the box.

 

The salon has partnered with a company called Green Circle Salons. For a small fee, the company collects used PPE and incinerates it.
