Earlier this month, councilmen Robert Craft and Steve Jones presented a video on Creative Outdoor Advertising at the Gulf City Council work session; the video explained how this advertising would help to offset the costs of placing recycling bins throughout the area and the costs of collecting the materials at the drop off locations. 

Craft and Jones believe that through advertising they can also reach the vendors that should be involved with recycling programs and make it more appealing for them to take the financial ‘risk’ it would entail. Having a working recycling system in place in the Gulf Shore cities would make residents more aware of the need to help the environment and lessen litter on the streets. In a recent survey, the city council found that 87 percent of those surveyed expressed the desire that the city continue to provide recycling. Being in the works for almost six months, efforts to improve the recycling system in order to make it more comprehensive are underway.
