Missouri Recycling Association (MORA)
Organizational History / Summary

Updated July 2009

MORA was formed when two regional recycling associations merged in 1993. The Ozarks Recycling Association (formed in Springfield, Mo.) and the Missouri State Recycling Association (formed in St. Louis, Mo.) decided to merge into one statewide organization devoted to waste reduction and recycling. MORA was the result of that merger.
