All About St. Louis Earth Day

In November, a film crew visited the SLED offices to find out more about the history of the organization and our Recycling On the Go program. The resulting 5 minute video, titled "Dirty Jobs", aired on KPLR Channel 11's All About Business segment on January 8th.


All About Business is a weekly television program spotlighting some of St. Louis' most successful businesses.  Airing each week on KPLR Channel 11 the show features a handful of segments that highlight the trends, topics and stories that make St. Louis a unique and entertaining location for new businesses, as well as established companies.
