Missouri Office of Administration: State Recycling Program

Picture
The Missouri State Recycling Program (MSRP) was established in 1989 when legislation added sections 34.031 and 34.032 to Chapter 34 of the MO Revised Statutes. The purpose of the MSRP is to assist State of Missouri government agencies with:
  • Procurement of products manufactured with recycled materials.
  • Coordinating waste reduction strategies.
  • Overseeing the collection of recyclables by establishing recycling services contracts.

The law encourages any state agency to purchase and use products made from post-consumer recycled materials when the product can be purchased at a price within 10% of the price of the same type of product manufactured from virgin materials, with particular emphasis on  recycled oil, retread tires, compost, and recycled paper. 

Missouri Sheltered Workshop recycling

Over 34 of Missouri's Sheltered Workshops provide recycling services to communities, business and industry and organizations. Materials handled by the workshops include corrugated cardboard, textiles, office paper, newsprint, plastics, metals, wood, aluminum, fluorescent bulbs, and other items. In addition to saving their customers money and reducing waste going to landfills, the sheltered workshop recycling programs employ some 500 of the state’s people with disabilities with dignified and meaningful work.  To see what products and services are offered by sheltered workshops in your area, click here: Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
