The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) announced that they are awarding more than $2.5 million in grants from the Alabama Recycling Fund (ARF) to multiple areas across the state to help boost recycling efforts.
鈥淭hese grants will have a tremendous impact on recycling in Alabama,鈥� said ADEM Director Lance LeFleur. 鈥淎DEM has emphasized working with our local communities, including those with less means, to develop a robust recycling infrastructure. This will increase the reuse of discarded materials, decrease the amount of waste entering our landfills, and contribute to a more sustainable future.鈥�
ADEM awarded $164,500 to the Alabama Recycling Coalition to help increase recycling in the state through education. The money will be used to design and build a statewide recycling website and create and implement a multimedia awareness campaign and a recycling partnership.
