Item 2.05	Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On May 29, 2007, the Board of Directors of Myers Industries, Inc. (the "Company") approved and adopted a plan to consolidate production facilities. Under the terms of the consolidation plan, manufacturing facilities in each of Brampton, Ontario, Lugoff, South Carolina, and Dawson Springs, Kentucky will be permanently closed and certain of the production capabilities and product lines at each of these facilities will be shifted to the Company's other existing manufacturing facilities in North America. The consolidation plan is expected to balance manufacturing capacity and further strengthen competitiveness in strategic markets.         Production at the Brampton, Ontario, facility is expected to cease by the end of 2007 and the closure is expected to result in the termination of approximately 170 employees. Production at the Lugoff, South Carolina, facility is expected to cease by the end of 2007 and the closure is expected to result in the termination of approximately 72 employees. Production at the Dawson Springs, Kentucky, facility is expected to cease by the end of 2007 and the closure is expected to result in the termination of approximately 95 employees. The Company expects to incur total costs of approximately $8.4 million before tax in connection with the closure of these facilities, mainly due to severance and fixed asset write-offs.

Myers Industries to Consolidate Production Three Plants to Close as Part of Strategy to Enhance Operational Efficiency
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 1, 2007, Akron, Ohio-- Myers Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MYE) Today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a plan to consolidate production facilities in the Company's Lawn and Garden and North American Material Handling Segments. This consolidation is part of the Company's previously discussed operating strategy and assessment of resources to balance capacity, which will further strengthen competitiveness in strategic markets.
The consolidation impacts three facilities in total, consisting of the following:
*	The Company will close two facilities in the Lawn and Garden Segment, including the Kord products plants in Brampton, Ontario, and Lugoff, South Carolina. These facilities, which were part of the Company's acquisition of ITML Horticultural Products in January 2007, produce nursery containers, specialty retail horticultural products, and custom plastic products. The plants employ approximately 170 and 72 people, respectively, and are expected to close by the end of 2007.
*	The Company will close one facility in the North American Material Handling Segment in Dawson Springs, Kentucky. This injection-molding plant produces plastic reusable hand-held containers. The plant employs approximately 95 people and is expected to close by the end of 2007.
Production from the facilities will be transferred to other Myers Industries operations in North America. The Company anticipates that it will make severance and outplacement support available to affected employees.
President and Chief Executive Officer John C. Orr said, "The decision to close any facility is extremely difficult. But to remain competitive and position the business for the future, it is absolutely critical that we further consolidate work across our facilities to fully utilize our high-speed molding capacity, reduce operating costs and achieve greater efficiency gains."
Myers Industries expects to incur total costs of approximately $8.4 million before tax in connection with the consolidation actions announced today.
As part of its "Strategic Business Evolution" plan, the Company will continue to evaluate its four, core business segments to ensure competitive positioning and value generation for all stakeholders.
