Thanks to municipal services, waste management is something out of sight, out of mind for most of us. The destination for most of the objects in our lives sooner or later in the landfill. To minimize what we put into the landfill, we can reduce, reuse, and recycle. Green Star of Interior Alaska will provide an overview of the landscape of recycling in the Interior, revealing “behind the scenes” at the Fairbanks North Star Borough Central Recycling Facility and the Green Star of Interior Alaska electronics recycling warehouse. We will also discuss future visions of recycling in the FNSB and answer questions Fairbanksans have about recycling. Enrollment limited to 20.
Green Star of Interior Alaska is a local nonprofit serving the Fairbanks North Star Borough. Our programs encourage reuse of materials, reduction of unnecessary waste, and increasing recycling efforts in our community.
