Recycling at the 2009 Missouri State Fair

Recycling went over in a big way at the 2009 Missouri State Fair with the addition of 350 recycling bins to collect containers, OCC collection, and 2 new compactors. The Missouri State Fair Recycling effort began last year with 60 beverage container recycling bins. The expansion was made possible by the efforts of the following partners: Midwest Assistance Program (coordination), Anheuser-Busch Recycling/County Distributing, Pioneer Trails RPC/West Central MO SWMD Region F, Johnson County Sheltered Workshop, Missouri Office of Administration, and Missouri Department of Natural Resources Solid Waste Management Program working with Waste Corp. of America. This year, several volunteers with recycling interests around the state worked two days prior to the fair and the day following the fair to assist with beverage container placement and cardboard collection. Pictures and further details regarding amount of recyclables collected will be coming soon. Stay tuned to the MORA website.

Thanks to all the partners, sponsors, volunteers and to the Missouri State Fair for expanding their "Going Green" initiative!
