Is there electronics recycling in Fairbanks?
Yes, we have been helping Interior Alaska Green Star to host an annual (now perhaps biannual) collection event for electronics to be sent to a responsible Seattle based recycler, Total Reclaim. Most electronics that are submitted for “recycling” in the US end up over seas in Asia and Africa, where they are a major source of toxic waste pollution, contaminating local drinking water and causing hazardous working and living conditions. This is a serious issue, and so it is important that we chose a recycler that does all the processing it can in the US where environmental protection legislation is more substantial.
