Albertville/Boaz Recycling Center

The Albertville-Boaz Recycling Center began its operations in March 2009 as a joint venture with the two cities. Being a unique rural area we have opened our facility to many outlying communities. Our service area includes cities within the Marshall County area, Blount, DeKalb and Etowah Counties.

Beginning with just collections of newspapers then later adding PET #1 plastic. The Albertville-Boaz Recycling has grown over the years and added many different products which today includes: newspapers, magazines, telephone books, hardback and paper back books, office and junk mail, all types of cardboard, shredded paper, PET #1 plastic, HD #2, #3 and up plastic, hard plastic, metal, aluminum, glass, electronics and styrofoam.

In August of 2011 the Albertville-Boaz Recycling Authority developed a board of directors that oversees the day to day operations by virture of hiring Jeannie Courington as the executive director. Jeannie Courington was named the Alabama Recycler of the Year in 2013 by the Alabama Recycling Coalition.

We partnered with KAB in 2010-11 for the Recycle Bowl, out of the top 8 winners 7 of those were from the Albertville School system, Marshall Christian School was named as a State and National Winner also in 2012 and 2013 they were selected as a state winner. In 2014 Albertville Middle School was selected as a state winner, with 6 of the schools being in the top 6 in the state.
