Our 4th quarter of our Flying Cans/Flying Bottles program shows a decrease from the previous year. The biggest contributor in Q4, however, was Chevak—they sent in 684 pounds of used beverage cans while Teller sent in a whopping 128 bags of used plastic beverage bottles!
Seven groups applied or re-started the Flying Cans program in 2024: Nightmute, Ruby, Aleknagik, White Mountain, Beaver Village, Newhalen and Hooper Bay. We look forward to seeing how much they send in for recycling.
In total, 38 communities (off the road, rail or river system) participated in this program in 2024 with support from members of the Alaska Air Carriers Association (ACAA).

Kawerak Inc, serving 20 tribes, is the official recipient of an U.S. Environmental Protection Agency SWIFR grant! The organization doesn’t have a facility to process recyclables, and sorting has always been done outdoors. The $1.5 million grant will allow for indoors processing at any time, as well as help fund a baler for multiple types of recyclable material. The SWIFR awards are funded from $350 million used to fund both these grants and the Consumer Recycling Education and Outreach grant program through 2026.
