Next food waste collection pop-up of 2026 (Scroll to the bottom to help us know when to schedule more!)
WANTED: Pumpkins!
It looks like the temperatures are going to let us get in a few more food waste collection pop-ups before GHWM has to shut down their composter.
WHEN: MONDAY, November 2nd 4:00 – 6:00 PM
WHERE: Green Star of Interior Alaska offices at 2134 Texaco Ave.
Pick up your 3-gal. buckets at Fairbanks Soil & Water Conservation District at 590 University Ave., at Green Star or at the pop up events themselves to have a bucket ready for next time. Bring your filled buckets (or whatever you’d like to bring your food waste in – buckets not required) to one of our Drop Off Events at Green Star!
