We are grateful for the generous support from our sponsors and members of the community. Contributions like yours help Interior Alaska Green Star continue our educational and recycling programs.
E-waste is the fastest growing part of our waste stream. E-Recycling prevents toxic and dangerous materials from entering our landfills and allows for many of the components to be broken down and reused.
Even without a traditional recycling program in the Fairbanks North Star Borough, Fairbanksans are recycling. Click the link below to download our list of where, and what, to recycle in Fairbanks.

Our programs and services succeed thanks to the generous support of sponsoring organizations and individuals who understand the importance of waste reduction and recycling. Interior Alaska Green Star is dedicated to furthering these values by continuing to assist and recognize businesses, organizations, schools, and events that strive to reduce waste and improve our air quality.
