The TCEQ has released the completed study on the Economic Impacts of Recycling. The study was required by HB 2763 -84th Regular Session. The study found, among other things, that the recycling of municipal solid waste creates economic benefits for the Texas economy, with more than 17,000 person-years of direct, indirect, and induced employment supported during 2015. The overall impact of recycling MSW on the Texas economy exceeded $3.3 billion.
