We kicked off our solid waste study this morning! While we were talking trash, we learned solid waste collection is the 5th deadliest job in the United States. Most of these deaths are caused by being struck by a motorist, and with proper awareness, it is completely avoidable. Missouri is one of 30 states to enact a “Slow Down To Get Around” law to protect solid waste workers during collection because everyone deserves to go home from their job safe at the end of the day. #slowdowntogetaround
