Halloween is over, but your pumpkin still has a job to do. Pumpkin recycling in Fairbanks is easy: instead of sending jack-o’-lanterns to the landfill, bring them to one of three drop-off spots, where they’ll be composted.
🎃 Green Star of Interior Alaska (new this year!)
2134 Texaco Ave (close to Peger and Van Horn behind Frontier Glass)
Bring food waste here too!
Mondays, 4–6 pm, all November: Nov 2, 9, 16, 23 & 30
🎃 Roaming Root — Nov 6 – Dec 5
1651 College Rd,
Bring pumpkins inside.

🎃 Great Alaskan Bowl Co. — Nov 6 – Dec 5
4630 Old Airport Way
