Alaska Recycles is beginning a pilot project in the Fairbanks area that will provide curbside recycling pickup! The company wants to give community members a convenient way to get their recyclables to the FNSB Central Recycling Facility (CRF). Recycling pick up is available for both residents and businesses. For a fee, Alaska Recycles would pick up your recyclables from your curb once or twice per month as requested, then, sort the recyclables for you by type (aluminum, plastic #1 an #2, paper or cardboard) and deliver them to the CRF.
