recycling

Since the catastrophic failure of the bailer at the Central Peninsula Landfill last year, the commission’s been the sounding board for community members wanting to share their concerns and ideas about the problem.

The Kenai Peninsula Borough is evaluating the efficacy of its recycling efforts and solid waste management as a whole after the loss of a baler at the Central Peninsula Landfill.

Central Peninsula Landfill will host its annual electronics recycling event Saturday. The event will accept computers, televisions, cell phones, vacuum cleaners, appliances and more.

The Soldotna City Council will consider trashing a loophole in its disposable plastic bag ban.

A mobile operation that turns post-consumer plastics into wood is set up in Kenai this month. The operation uses plastics collected from around the Kenai Peninsula, and converts them into a durable lumber product.

The program's organizer said all available containers for the project are full, and plastic collection will be on pause until June, at the latest.
