Check out the new glass pulverizer at the Mobile County Recycling Center.

Funded by a $200,000 grant from the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), the equipment can process 500,000 pounds of glass each year, turning old bottles into safe, smooth sand for use in Mobile County projects.

The best part? No more color sorting. Residents can now drop off clear, green, and amber glass in a single bin. It's the only free glass recycling in Mobile County.

The recycling center is owned by the Mobile County Commission and operated by Goodwill Gulf Coast.

Bring your bottles to 7450 Hitt Road to help Mobile County keep glass out of the landfill.

What do you do with all those dead leaves covering your yard? Here are some tips to maintain a manicured lawn while keeping our waterways cleaner and healthier for generations to come:
1. Never dump yard waste of any kind into any waterway or storm drain.
2. Do not blow (or sweep) leaves, grass clippings or any yard debris onto nearby sidewalks, streets, driveways or parking lots.
3. Bag leaves, sticks and other waste to avoid the debris flowing into and clogging nearby storm drains.
4. Ensure that any storm drain located near your home or business remains free of any debris blocking the entry.
