For 50 years, Alabama Environmental Coun
cil has been a leader in environmental protection. During that time, they’ve protected public lands, promoted recycling, educated, and advocated. And, they’ve operated the state’s oldest nonprofit recycling center, in Birmingham, for 40+ years.
By Christmastime, they may close their Birmingham recycling center. But, they’ll continue their work to keep Alabama beautiful. Without the Birmingham recycling center, AEC can focus on environmental conservation in Alabama.
Since the early 1970s, AEC has run Alabama’s “largest and oldest non-profit recycling center operation.” Now, a shift in the market for recyclables calls for a shift in AEC’s strategy.
Therefore, here’s the plan as it stands now:
From now through December 13th, Avondale’s community recycling center will open on Thursdays only. After December 13th, it may close.
