Mobile County Grants First Two Teams In Litter Incentive

Two local volunteer teams were each awarded $500 grants from the Love Your Community grant incentive program for their efforts to keep Mobile County litter free, the county recently announced. The first two teams to earn grants each completed more than 50 h of litter pickup and disposal in a preselected area: the Litter Ladies Team, led by Sallye Irvine, will use its grant to add recycling bins at Wilmer Hall cottages, and the Dauphin Island A Team, led by Courtney Leytham, will use its grant to landscape an area near the Dauphin Island Marina where a memorial bench will be placed. Sixty-one teams are currently participating in the Love Your Community Time Bank, and 10 of those are within 10 h of obtaining grant funding, said Program Coordinator Evelyn DeAngelo. Grants, funded through the Mobile County Commission and Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act, must be used for projects in public rights-of-way and common areas for recycling, community gardens, park projects and other environmentally friendly project ideas, in addition to beautification of areas within rights-of-way.
