TROY, Ala. (AP) - A new law designed to encourage more recycling
in Alabama took effect Oct. 1. The state environmental agency
celebrated the new law Friday by taking several elected officials
on a tour of a plastics recycling plant in Troy.
The director of the Alabama Department of Environmental
Management, Trey Glenn, says increasing recycling opportunities
will lead to a cleaner Alabama.
The new law levies a $1 per ton fee on waste disposed at
landfills in Alabama. The fee is supposed to generate more than $7
million annually. It will be used to clean up illegal dumps on
private property, inspect legal landfills and expand recycling
programs to reduce the waste going to landfills.
