Northway Mall Glass Bin Closed

Posted by recycle

Glass is recycled into sandblast grit in Anchorage.
ALPAR, who manages the glass drop off sites for Anchorage, closed the Northway Mall site on September 3rd. Recyclers can continue to recycle glass at the Anchorage Smurfit-Stone Recycling Center off Dowling, at the Anchorage Landfill on Hiland Road and at the Brown Jug Warehouse on Old Seward.

The site was closed as part of a larger effort to control contamination of the glass caused by illegally dumped materials that have been going into the glass. The glass plant can no longer cover the cost incurred from too much contamination.

Glass is one of the most difficult items to recycle due to it's low value and challenges in handling this heavy, broken and sharp material. Contamination creates additional costs and safety concerns.

ALPAR will be working with the Municipality of Anchorage and EK Industries, who owns the glass plant, to consider expansion of glass drop offs that are sustainable and attract less illegal dumping.
