Got kitchen scraps piling up? Turn your food waste into a rich, healthy soil amendment instead of sending it to the landfill!
We are hosting a special pop-up composting drop-off station, and we want your vegetable peelings, coffee grounds, and more! Pick up your 3-gal. buckets at Fairbanks Soil & Water Conservation District at 590 University Ave. (or at the pop up events themselves to have a bucket ready for next time) and bring your filled buckets to one of our Drop Off Events at Green Star!
Flyer for details here: https://iagreenstar.org/…/Composting-Pop-Up-Flyer.pdf
Dates:
Monday, October 5th from 12:00p.m. to 4:00p.m.
Monday, October 12th from 12:00p.m. to 4:00p.m.
*Stay tuned for spring 2027 pop-up dates!*
Drop Off Location: 2134 Texaco Ave, Fairbanks, AK 99701
