Phenix City council considers $150,000 application for centralized recycling sorting and storage site
Summary
Council reviewed a resolution to authorize submission of a grant application for a dedicated recycling sorting and storage facility estimated at $150,000 and discussed adding a second collection location.
Phenix City City Council on March 4 reviewed a resolution authorizing the submission of a grant application to fund a dedicated recycling sorting and storage site with a total estimated cost of $150,000 and directing the mayor and city manager to act on the application.
City staff described the proposal as intended "to provide a dedicated location for advanced and efficient sorting and storage of all recyclable materials the city collects," noting the estimated project cost at $150,000 and that the resolution would authorize submission of the application and related assurances. The staff presentation also said the project would create an additional collection location; a council member noted the city currently has only one such location in the second district and that the proposal would bring the total to two locations.
