The City of Millbrook was one of 22 grantees in Alabama to have been awarded funds from the Alabama Recycling Fund in a special check presentation event at the Marriott Legends at Capitol Hill. The City will utilize its $14,365 grant award to purchase and detail a recycling trailer to help improve collection and handling efficiency and elevate awareness of Millbrook’s recycling program throughout the community.
On hand to accept Millbrook’s $14,365 ceremonial check was City Council President Michael Gay. Mr. Gay said, “I am pleased to accept this grant on behalf of the Millbrook community. Recycling makes us a healthier and more responsible community and I deeply appreciate those Millbrook citizens who already recycle and invite those who haven’t thought about it to give it a try.” The Millbrook Recycling Center is located at 4180 Grandview Road and is open Tuesday – Saturday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. The Center accepts cardboard, paper, plastic and metal/aluminum cans.
The Alabama Recycling Fund is administered by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management and funds awarded are used to promote local recycling efforts by providing reimbursement grants to local governments to develop, implement, and enhance recycling programs.
