I'd love to take this $250,000 (grant) and go toward recycling." ? Charles Ebert III, Foley councilman - al.com: "FOLEY — A state recycling grant could cut garbage collection costs and prevent increases in residents' fees, but might also mean cutting household garbage collection from twice a week to one day, city officials said.

The Foley City Council will hold a public hearing Feb. 16 on a proposal to request a $258,500 grant from the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. The grant, which would not require matching money from the city, would be used to buy 5,500 garbage cans. The wheeled, 96-gallon containers would be used in an expanded recycling program, said Butch Bledsole, city sanitation director."
