Birmingham is 150 square miles. Bigger than any city our size in the South per capita. Bar none! That means our departments have to cover a LOT of ground. Literally. Check out what a month at our Department of Public Works looks like. #puttingpeoplefirst https://lnkd.in/gmY8Zcw7

#Sustainability begins at home. That's why I'm happy to announce the City of Birmingham is giving away 5,100 64-galloon recycling bins for Birmingham residents this month. More than 3,500 households signed up in the first week the bins were available. Here's to a greener, more sustainable Birmingham! #puttingpeoplefirst If you a Birmingham resident who might be interested, then please direct them to our information page here: https://lnkd.in/gmateGzv

I was born in the Northside community, at the once thriving Carraway Hospital. It has long since been a dream to see intentional reinvestment into this community that is home to men, women, and children who deserve an opportunity to fully participate in Birmingham’s prosperous and promising economy. I'm excited about our Recompete initiative. #puttingpeoplefirst Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gT7YdnHH https://lnkd.in/gnJPZww3
