Valley Community for Recycling Solutions
Split Second Decision Making, What Can I Do With This? Offer Expires 12/31/2016
Offer Expires 12/31/2016
As America Recycles Day comes and goes, many action oriented citizens will have focused on how to prepare, sort, and organize materials. November 15, 2018 will mark another tipping point for redefining human behavior patterns and reinvigorating recycling habits. End-of-use decisions related to recycling tasks have direct effects on human health and the natural environment by affecting pollution levels. Keep America Beautiful, whose mission is to engage individuals to take greater responsibility for improving their community environments, initiated this campaign to reduce waste and litter through education. The program has resources available which have been successful in developing participation within communities and schools while working closely with their recycling service provider. Drawing from resources provided by Alaskans for Litter Prevention & Recycling’s (ALPAR) grant program, a teaching team at Sutton Elementary allocated funds to tour VCRS, see the central landfill, and purchase lunch kits for their combined classroom and reusable sporks and trays for the whole school to use. Learning through this project to explore complex problems, they present-

ed waste audit results to the Mat Su School Board along with a supportive editorial written to The Frontiersman printed October 6, 2018 asking, “Will you please spread the word of the importance of reducing waste and recycling in our schools?” Sutton Elementary is participating in the next Zero Waste Week and is seeking other schools to join them. Dates for the 2019 campaign will be announced soon. Daily, we meet visitors taking the necessary steps toward improving their skills and smacking the Valley Community for Recycling Solutions’ (VCRS) iconic red “That Was Easy” button. Imagine their relief after being shown how to break down into smaller steps what they think is a frustrating task. Our Getting Started flyer helps prepare one’s mindset to organize a recycling sorting station. Tips and encouraging words to remember are offered like, “Many people start with one or two items, such as cardboard and aluminum beverage containers, then add more later on.” A recently revamped mate-

rial sorting guide can be either downloaded from www.valleyrecycling.org or picked up on location. Follow these easy material sorting guidelines: make sure all containers are empty-clean-dry, remove caps from #1 and #2 plastic bottles, corrugated cardboard saturated with grease, water, or wax is considered unacceptable, and remember to stop and inspect bins to remove miscellaneous or misplaced items. As recyclers gain experience, enthusiasm and capability come together as strategy for down the road. It is easy to find value in multiple lives for thousands of tons of consumable material. Are you ready to learn more about what and how to recycle? VCRS staff members can help you get to the next level with tactics for tackling hard to recycle items, determine what we accept in the way of donated non-ferrous scrap metal and garden pots, or direct you to local government for specific questions about electronic recycling and hazardous waste. Lo-
cally, we have clients who reuse ink cartridges, eyeglasses, and packing peanuts. Many customers want to recycle items that we are unable to accept, currently. There are brand name products who partner with a recycling company, TerraCycle, to initiate programs for plastics like old toothbrushes and toys to cigarette waste and instrument strings. www.waste360.com is an industry source for educational information and can be relied on to answer questions regarding hard to recycle items. Glass bottles and jars can be dropped off at two locations: the WestRock Anchorage recycling center and the Anchorage Regional Landfill on Hiland Drive. Remove caps and lids on glass bottles. The shift in the global recycling market has encompassed many curbside waste management systems throughout the US. While fingers point toward contamination being the problem, VCRS continues striving to avoid commingling materials, managing to bypass this issue. Now, the rest of the country is being exposed to the purpose of why recycling behavior needs to tilt back to systems like VCRS’ source separated model, which ensures quality, practiced for the past twenty years.
