They should set aside one state to be a place where all the waste of the other 47 states goes into landfill. That would leave the maximum number of pretty unpolluted states and one where a lot of jobs would be made up in waste management.

They could turn the mounds of waste into ski hills as I understand Montana gets a fair bit of snow. A little more ingenuity and they could figure out some way to make the garbage sanitized and sterilized so it could be made into animal feed and furniture. Then it could return in places to pasture for a while. Sort of like rotation of crops. Waste disposal, transportation, scheduling and recycling, scenic garbage hill tours, machine building to scale up to really big waste movement, animal husbandry, etc.... I think the state would be bustling in no time. Great advances could be made in incineration and catalysis. Universities would spring up in places like Missoula to address these issues.
