Recycling = JOBS

Each year....

Missouri exports $451 million in metals, paper and plastics to other countries.

Some is recycled into goods sold back to the U.S.

Missouri buries 4 million tons of recyclables that could have diverted into thousands of new recycling jobs.

Missouri needs good jobs; we cannot afford to waste this opportunity!
