Mobile does offer these “amnesty” days, about every 6 months or so.  I dont have the information on them as inlocation and dates but Im sure you can find by calling the city/county
They advertise on TV and the radio when it comes around.

Well, they might do that now but if we had one in Mobile maybe they would think twice about throwing these things in the trash!! I know I would!!

Don’t need one in mobile, 1/2 the people just throw it in the trash, 1/4 of the people pour it down storm drains, 1/8 of the people recycle, and the other 1/8 use it to make meth.

I wonder when they are going to have one in Mobile? Does anyone know?
