GOAL: The goal <strong>of</strong> this project is to establish a Mobile County Recycling and Household Hazardous<br />
Waste drop <strong>of</strong>f facility to reduce the amount <strong>of</strong> these materials being deposited in landfills.<br />
OBJECTIVE: The objective <strong>of</strong> the project is to establish a recycling and household hazardous waste<br />
drop <strong>of</strong>f center in an appropriate location in the unincorporated area <strong>of</strong> Mobile<br />
County.<br />
The goal <strong>of</strong> this project is to establish a Mobile County Recycling Facility to reduce the amount <strong>of</strong><br />
recyclable materials deposited in landfills. The City <strong>of</strong> Mobile’s Keep Mobile Beautiful <strong>Program</strong> operates a<br />
voluntary recycling program that involves collecting and processing newspaper, aluminum and steel cans,<br />
plastic bottles, cardboard and glass. The following list provides the estimated amount <strong>of</strong> materials that<br />
were collected at the existing facility:<br />
Material<br />
Amount recycled (pounds)<br />
Paper<br />
1.6 million<br />
Cardboard 370,000<br />
Glass 480,000<br />
Plastic 74,000<br />
Aluminum 2,700<br />
Steel 31,500<br />
The population <strong>of</strong> Mobile County is 404,157 (according to 2006 census estimates). The recycling program<br />
processing center is located in historic downtown Mobile. The estimated number <strong>of</strong> citizens in the zip<br />
codes surrounding the existing facility is 52,000. While this location is successful, it is not convenient for<br />
Mobile County residents that live outside Mobile City’s historic downtown or midtown area. Mobile<br />
County would like to partner with the City <strong>of</strong> Mobile to add an additional recycling and drop <strong>of</strong>f center in<br />
Mobile County. The establishment <strong>of</strong> an additional recycling facility in Mobile County is expected to<br />
further reduce the amount <strong>of</strong> recyclable materials that are disposed <strong>of</strong> in the landfill. The numbers listed<br />
above represent the bare minimum that would be expected to be collected at a second facility.<br />
