National Recycling Coalition (NRC) Considers Merger with Keep America Beautiful (KAB)
June 30, 2009 Update by Angie Gehlert, MORA Executive Director
In keeping with NRC’s commitment to provide the membership extensive opportunity to ask questions and offer input, NRC has set up an online forum to actively engage each MORA member and seek feedback about the proposed combination of the NRC and KAB. Through this online forum, both organizations hope to answer all of your questions, share your comments in an open and public dialogue, and provide you with all of the information you need to cast an informed vote about the future of NRC.
Ultimately, your vote for or against this combination will have a significant impact on the future of recycling in America. Whatever your opinion, it is vitally important that you let your voice be heard.
Join the discussion at www.KABandNRC.org.
Missouri State Fair Recycling Effort
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR RECYCLING EFFORT – The Missouri State Fair Recycling effort began in 2008 with 60 beverage container recycling bins. This year, it is expanding to more than 400 beverage container bins as well as adding cardboard recycling. Volunteers are needed to assist with the cardboard collection the two days prior to the fair opening when vendors are setting up and the day after the fair closes and everyone is clearing out.
WHAT: Physically collecting cardboard and possibly assisting with beverage bin placement and promotion flyer distribution. (Wear comfortable shoes.)
WHEN:
Tuesday 8/11 – noon-6pm;
Wednesday 8/12 – 10am-5pm;
Monday 8/24 - 9am-1pm.
WHERE: Sedalia.
HOW: We may need pickup trucks if you have one you can bring, or we might have golf carts to use. This is yet to be determined by the fair administration. As you can imagine, there is a lot of traffic and hubbub on the streets with people moving in and setting up.
WHY: To help this new recycling program succeed and keep as much material as possible out of the landfill.
