Green Star hosts a volunteer work party every Saturday to help us process the electronic recyclables collected by the borough at their Central Recycling Facility. Come help keep electronics out of our landfills - and learn a thing or two along the way!
Once a week (Saturday) at 2134 Texaco Ave. New Volunteer orientation begins at Noon and the shift runs until 4:00, but you are welcome to stay as long as you'd like! Please arrive just before Noon pm to receive information about the day's tasks.
Training is provided on site.
The following are some of the volunteer tasks at our E-Recycling weekend:
- Cutting cords off devices & sorting them
- Unloading electronics from totes
- Sorting and packaging electronics to prepare them for shipment
- Dismantling and destroying computer hard drives
- Sorting and preparing batteries for shipment
It’s only with the help of fantastic volunteers like you that Green Star can help Fairbanks reduce waste and increase recycling! Whether you’re a student, professional or retiree, you will fit right in! One thing we all have in common is a commitment to a healthy and beautiful environment.
