 RECOGNIZING THE KENTUCKY CHAPTER OF THE NATIONAL WASTE AND RECYCLING 
                              ASSOCIATION

 Mr. PAUL. Mr. President, I rise today to honor the Kentucky 
Chapter of the National Waste and Recycling Association, NWRA.
  For 60 years, NWRA has been the Nation's leading voice for the 
private sector waste and recycling industries, which are essential to 
maintaining the quality of American life. The daily delivery of waste 
and recycling services impacts all residential, commercial, and 
industrial properties.
  The NWRA's mission has been to promote the waste and recycling 
industry

through the strategic application of a results-driven advocacy and 
vision. The NWRA has created a favorable business climate where members 
prosper and provide safe, economically sustainable services and jobs 
that benefit communities throughout America.
  With nearly 700 members, no chapter has showcased this shining 
standard more than Kentucky's NWRA chapter. For example, solid waste in 
Louisville has a diversion rate that is twice as efficient as 
comparable sized cities.
  Solid waste and recycling collection in Louisville is no easy task. 
Metro Louisville consists of 83 incorporated cities, numerous 
homeowners' associations, and the Urban Services District collected by 
Metro Public Works. Despite these challenges, Kentucky's NWRA chapter 
continues to meet and exceed all expectations.
  I am proud to salute the Kentucky NWRA chapter for their continued 
service and accomplishments, and I have no doubt they will continue to 
play an integral role in bettering the Commonwealth.
