Project R.O.S.E. recognized as environmental program of year

Project R.O.S.E., the state’s motor oil recycling program, recently received the 2003 Best Environmental Education Program in Alabama award from the Environmental Education Association of Alabama.

Project R.O.S.E., short for Recycled Oil Saves Energy, is headquartered in the chemical engineering department in the College of Engineering.

The volunteer project that won the award was conducted in collaboration with the Upper Tallapoosa Watershed Committee and the Randolph County Extension System.

Randolph County had no collection sites for do-it-yourself used motor oil. Project R.O.S.E. purchased and placed eight tanks that are still in used across the county.
