ALPAR is a privately funded, non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating litter and increasing economically-viable recycling in Alaska. Founded in 1982 by a group of dedicated Alaskan business leaders, ALPAR's programs help clean up Alaska's communities, roadways, parks, beaches and waterways and assist with recycling initiatives throughout Alaska. ALPAR programs and services are made possible by the generous support of dedicated businesses and organizations throughout Alaska.
UAA is teaming up with Total Reclaim to host a 1-day electronic recycling event for personal electronics. This will be a great opportunity to do your part to keep hazardous materials contained in your computers, cell phones and other electronics out of the landfill and on to a new life!
Bring your bare (LIVE!) trees to CARRS – Safeway stores in Anchorage, Eagle River or Palmer and drop off in the parking lot (look for the sign!) No wreaths, please. The wire backing is too difficult to remove. Please remove and recycle plastic bags at the recycling center. Trees are turned into fragrant wood chips and donated to beautify public trails and gardens. This program is sponsored by ALPAR, Municipality of Anchorage Solid Waste Services, CARRS/Safeway, Carr Gottstein Properties and our media sponsors; MIX 103.1 and KBEAR, Alaska Dispatch News and GCI. Artificial trees not allowed here. Consider donating to Bishop’s Attic, Value Village or Salvation Army. Don’t forget to recycle your paper gift wrap and boxes at the Anchorage Recycling Center, Muni Central Transfer Station, Landfill or in your curbside recycling cart. Christmas string lights can be recycled at the Anchorage Recycling Center or Total Reclaim. Save ribbons and foil wrap for use next year!
ALPAR and Anchorage Solid Waste Services is challenging Alaskans to post their recycling selfie and #IrecycleANC on their favorite social media to spread the word that recyclers are awesome!
It’s easy! All you do is take a picture of yourself dropping off your glass, cans, and plastics, rolling out your curbside recycle cart, or even buying a recycled product. Once you do that, post your selfie to social media using #IrecycleANC. It’s as simple as that.We can’t wait to see your recycling selfie!
