The amount of out-of-state trash flowing into Ohio continues to grow. State statistics show that the state received more than 3.1 million tons of out-of-state trash in 2004, according to the Associated Press. In 2003, Ohio received 2.5 million tons of solid waste from outside of its borders. That is the biggest one-year increase since 1989. [emphasis added].
