The industry has been good to me, and I want to help others have the same success.” “United we stand, divided we fall. Our industry is only as good as the weakest link, so stronger members mean a stronger industry.

Rutowski was happy that Michigan’s bottle bill is on MIRA’s 2013 focus list. “We’ve recycled bottles for so long, it’s worked into our system, but it’s a nightmare I’d rather not deal with,” “I’d love to see it replaced with a recycling program outside the stores.

There is a need for everyone in a specific industry to work together for a common goal to implement change in the common scheme. It’s much easier to do this in a group, as opposed to sitting on the sidelines and allowing one peorson to take the lead while you reap the benefits. It’s very important for you to be a part of the group, be a team player, and be a member of that organization – especially in this industry. Membership in the association provides networking opportunities.

I had heard a lot of great things about them and decided to get involved. I am glad I did, and I plan to continue supporting them. I think MIRA is an excellent organization. They’ve not only helped me through their programs, but they’ve also helped me with some legal issues. These are just some of the reasons why i’ll continue supporting them.

I strongly recumbent MIRA to anyone whose business fits the MIRA criteria. They are our eyes and ears in Lansing. They keep us current with laws and legislation. Many rebate programs for members can add up quickly.

We always call MIRA with whatever problems we may have and they always solve it. They work very hard. They always call me and let me know what’s going on and what changes are coming, so it’s very helpful.
