Zero Waste Committee
ORGANIZATION: Green Star of Interior Alaska
Please visit the new page to apply.
Green Star's Zero Waste Committee encompasses some of our efforts to reduce our overall amount of waste in the Fairbanks North Star Borough and divert what we can from the landfill beyond electronics recycling.
Our Zero Waste Committee helps coordinate our event recycling services, which we provide for several big community events like the Midnight Sun Festival and the Tanana Valley State Fair. We are expanding to work on other waste reduction initiatives, including hosting Repair Cafes and making reusable produce bags from donated cloth to give away for free at public events. If any of these projects interest you, or you have other waste reduction project ideas, join our next committee meeting to share!
The Zero Waste Committee meets on the second Monday of every month from 1-2PM at our warehouse.
