Conserving energy resources, preserving our environment and creating new jobs are the objectives of the Recycling Program. The program provides technical assistance to local governments wanting to start or expand their local recycling programs and general information on recycling. These local recycling programs are providing raw materials to Alabama 's recycling industry, which employs more than 2,200 workers.

The program also promotes used motor oil and electronics recycling. Visit the Earth911 website at (www.earth911.org ) to find the nearest location for used motor oil and electronics collection. 

Scrap Tire Recycling

The Alabama Department of Economic and Community (ADECA) is a member of the Scrap Tire Commission which helps clean up and recycle scrap tires that have accumulated in illegal tire dumps.  ADECA promotes scrap tire recycling as an alternative to the landfill disposal of scrap tires.
