Recyclosaurus Rex – a life-size sculpture of a dinosaur sits in front of MOSI as a monument to recycling.
"Recyclosaurus Rex, made of recycled steel beams and plastic fencing stands 20 feet
tall and is 40 feet long. Her belly is filled with aluminum cans and plastic containers.
Recyclosaurus Rex was commissioned and built in 1993 and has served as a community
landmark and a recycling reminder. Currently the sculpture is in need of repair. The original
external structure has degraded and needs to be replaced. Due to County construction
projects, there is limited access to the site necessitating the need for additional sidewalks. The
lights in the eyes are no longer functional and will be replaced with environmentally sound LED lights powered by solar panels." Text Source: (
