FLORENCE-Mayor Andrew Betterton, Florence Council Members, Florence Recycling Department, and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management invite you to join us Wednesday, September 8, at 2:00 pm at the Florence Recycle Center at 1200 Terrace Street as we celebrate the recycling program’s growth.
ADEM will present a check for $173.068.00 for funds awarded through the Alabama Recycling Fund Grant. This funding will increase efficiency at the Florence Recycle Center and will also strengthen community programs in Lauderdale County, Rogersville, Killen, and St. Florian.
Florence Recycling began in 1988 and has served Florence and surrounding communities and municipalities for over thirty years! Beginning small, the Florence Recycling Program has steadily worked to improve efficiency and production. Beginning in 2009, the Alabama Recycling Fund injected funding into the program bringing the automation needed to expand recycling opportunities to surrounding communities. The success of the Florence Recycling Program combines the efforts of state and local leadership, our residents, school systems, and businesses. This cooperation has built a successful recycling program that supplies local manufacturers with raw materials supporting our local economy.
