Alabama Cities, Counties to Receive $2.5M in Recycling Grants from ADEM

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) has announced that is awarding more than $2.5 million in grants from the Alabama Recycling Fund to different areas in the state to boost recycling.

The grants will be split between cities, counties, agencies, and nonprofits across the state to enhance Alabama’s recycling. The grants, set for 2025, were awarded at the Alabama Recycling Coalition’s Annual Conference and Expo.

“These grants will have a tremendous impact on recycling in Alabama,” said ADEM Director Lance LeFleur.

“ADEM 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.”
