The Monrovia City Corporation (MCC) and U.S. Refuse Removal, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for a $US 1 million initiative aimed at improving sanitation, strengthening recycling, and creating over 100 jobs.
The partnership will establish two proposed recycling depots focused on plastic recovery, with an expected 60 to 100 direct jobs. Additional employment opportunities are anticipated as waste collection, transportation, and processing operations expand.
The initiative will also promote workforce training, support Liberian businesses, and transform waste recovery into an opportunity for local enterprise and cleaner communities.
The partnership emerged from the Maryland-Liberia Trade Mission led by Princess George’s County Councilwoman At-Large Wala Blegay.
It also advances the objectives of the Maryland-Liberia Sister-State MOU by translating international cooperation into practical benefits for Monrovia.
The collaboration represents a significant step toward addressing sanitation challenges, expanding recycling, and creating sustainable economic opportunities for Liberians.
