North Haven Communities Sponsors Interior Alaska Green Star Recycling Round-Up
Interior Alaska Green Star (IAGA) Chapter recently hosted its 2nd Annual Recycling Round-Up on and North Haven Communities (NHC) was pleased to be a part of the event. NHC supported the day by serving as a corporate sponsor, and offering volunteers who generously spent their day helping with any job that needed to be done.
The event attracted 675 vehicles bearing nearly 35 tons of material, all which otherwise would have ended up in a landfill. In addition to providing a one-time, “One Stop” recycling venue, the event also offered another opportunity to educate the community on the importance of recycling and how they can recycle year round. The large amount of material collected and number of people who participated clearly shows a demand for recycling in Alaska. North Haven’s goal is to create sustainable communities, and will continue to promote increased recycling education and opportunities, on Fort Wainwright, Fort Greely and the surrounding communities.media
