The beaches of Baldwin County’s cities, inlcuding Orange Beach adn Gulf Shores, will join forces to develop a surfside recycling program.
It is estimated that approximately 80 percent of the trash that ends up on the beach could be recycled.
The goal is for Gulf Shores and Orange Beach to collect paper, plastic and aluminum and all the other trash from the shoreline.
Gulf Shores recently applied for a $300,000 Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) grant to help launch the effort. Through its two-year-old Recycling Fund, the state agency distributes a portion of the revenue generated by collecting $1 for every ton of garbage dumped into Alabama landfills each year. In 2010, ADEM will have $1.5 million to dole out to recycling projects throughout the state.
Once the cost of buying containers and equipment to collect the garbage, the program could be very inexpensive to initiate.
Gulf Shores and Orange Beach will be working hard to get this program running effectively as soon as this year. Let’s work together keeping the amazing beaches of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach clean. Together we can make this work for us today and the many visitors and new residents of tomorrow.
