Fairhope donates long‑unused baler to county material recovery facility
Summary
The council declared a Marathon Gemini baler surplus and authorized donation to the Solid Waste Disposal Authority of Baldwin County to support the new material recovery facility opening in July.
The Fairhope City Council declared a Marathon Gemini Extreme full eject and rear feed baler surplus and authorized the public works director to donate the equipment to the Solid Waste Disposal Authority of Baldwin County to support the new material recovery facility (MRF) opening on the east side of the Baldwin County courthouse in July.
Council members said the baler had been stored in a city warehouse for about five years and that donating it would help the county’s recycling operations as the MRF opens. The resolution authorized disposal by donation and directed the public works director to execute the transfer.
The council approved the donation by voice vote with no recorded opposition. No specific transportation, refurbishment costs, or transfer date were recorded in the meeting record.
