Anchorage recycles 8,000 trees despite the weather!
Author: alpar
Christmas Trees become mulch for trails and gardens.
Great job, recyclers! You recycled 8,000 Christmas trees after the holidays, kept them out of the landfill and put the chips to good use. ALPAR, Municipality of Anchorage Solid Waste Services and CARRS/Safeway teamed up to bring this program to residents in Anchorage and Palmer. Thanks to our great media sponsors: Anchorage Media Group Stations like KOOL 97.3, MIX 103.1, KBEAR, KFQD, and KHAR, GCI Cable, Anchorage Daily News, Channel 2, Channel 11 and Channel 13 and 4! Fairbanks and Juneau have started Christmas Tree Recycling programs as well! Recycling continues to grow!
