May 3-9 is No MOre T :ash! week in Missouri
Missouri spends millions of dollars
cleaning up trash every year. To increase
public awareness of the littering problem
in Missouri, the Missouri Department of
Transportation is celebrating May 3-9 as
No MOre Trash! Week in Missouri.
A TV public service announcement, litter
road signs and kickoff events are planned
statewide. The Missouri departments of
Conservation and Transportation
launched the first No MOre
Trash! Campaign in April 2002
with the ultimate goal of mak-
ing Missouri a litter-free state.
"No MOre Trash! Week is a
wake-up call for Missourians,"
said MoDOT District Engineer
Tom Stehn. "Trash is a problem
in Missouri, but it's one prob-
lem we can solve together. We
want people to understand
what they can do to help; we
want them to be part of the
solution. After all, every
Missourian benefits from a lit-
ter-free environment."
MoDOT has road signs to
remind motorists of the penal-
ties for littering. The green,
lic may call MoDOT toll-free at 1-888-
ASK-MODOT to request additional signs
where littering is a problem.
Each year, MoDOT spends about $4.2
million statewide to clear litter along
Missouri highways. The department's
3,500 Adopt-A-Highway groups provide
another $1.5 million worth of litter
cleanup.
"To put that into perspective, MoDOT

litter this year in the 13 counties that
make up the south central district alone.

Routes 21 and 8 in 4 counties were aver-

And that doesn't include what other
agencies do. Missouri Stream Team volun-
teers picked up 420 tons of trash in 2001.
Conservation agents handed
out hundreds of tickets for lit-
tering.
'%Ve have to do more than just
pick up trash," Stehn said. "We
need to change the way people
think. We want Missourians to
understand that litter is a prob-
lem we can solve by making
conscious decisions to properly
dispose of the trash we gener-
ate."
If you would like to pick up
trash as a part of the Adopt-A-
Highway program or help out
with a trash pick up - MoDOT's
south central district can help.
