Burks said he hopes Birmingham or Jefferson County will eventually take over sponsorship of the recycling center ana points to similar projects initiated by city governments in Atlanta and Miami In metropolitan Atlanta for example local governments have established 44 collection depots and are collecting about 335 tons of newsprint per month The newspapers bring about $10-14 a ton which local governments are putting into general hinds or park and recreation pro- grams For persons wishing to bring recyclable goods to center Dr Burks said an glass should be separated according to color with all metal rings removed from bottles Newsprint should be separate from mixed paper and should be bundled with string Aluminum and steel cans should be separated Recyclable 1 materials should be left at the center only when it is open Dr Burks said Groups helping man the center this fall include the Mountain Brook Ecology Club the Sierra Club the Independent Presbyterian Church the Bell Telephone Pioneers the First Presbyterian Church the Vestavia High School Leo Club the Mountain Brook Sparta-nettes Southern Research Institute employes Girl Scout Troop 412 the Birmingham League of Women

is both practical and economical according to the chairman Dr Robert Burks And Dr Burks ssys the best is yet to come Burks says he hopes now that the success of the center will encoursge city and county officials to have municipal sponsorship of centers throughout Updty I purpose is to demonstrate the feasibility of it so the city or county can eventually take over" Dr Burks who chairs the recycling committee of th Alabama Conservancy said However he said officials just Wont talk about it" j- -Ahhaegh it is sponsored by the Alabama Conservancy the recycling center on 11th-st between Sixth and Seventh avs is manned by from a number of local civic and environmental groups lit is open every Saturday ftantainto4pni 'j Since it began operating on sl permanent basis sbout six ninths ago Dr Burks said the center has collected more than 11000 pounds of glass pSper and metals thst would otherwise have been thrown away 'm Those materials collected hpve been sold and recycled throughout Alabama-' Dr: Burks said But Dr Burks said that amount represents Only a small percentage of the goods Jefferson County residents throw away each month With a growing citizen awareness of- the environment Dr Btirks said he expects many niprO persons to begin bring their recyclable goods to the center Money collected from the sale of the materials is used to pay for upkeep of the recycling center and for conservation programs sponsored by the Conservancy However Dr Burks said to a large degree the cards are stacked against the recycling industry He said a slow response by many industries to accept recyclable goods and a number of governmental policies have made the recycling market very tight especially within the past few months An example of governmental policy Dr Burks said is a ruling by the Interstate Commerce Commission which allows railroads to charge higher rates for recyclable goods Through November the recycling center has collect 2 arrested in grocery store
