This Friday is America Recycles Day! Each year on November 15, also known as National Recycling Day, millions of Americans come together to spread the word on how recycling helps us reduce waste, save energy, and conserve precious resources.
If you’re in Fairbanks and curious about recycling, celebrate National Recycling Day in Fairbanks with a tour of the Central Recycling Facility (1855 Marika Rd. off of Aurora). On the 15th, they will be running tours every hour on the half hour starting at 10:30 and ending 3:30! The CRF is able to accommodate a lot of people but if you have a large group you would like to make sure gets in at a specific time, you can call them at (907) 374-6616.
