Visitor Comments
R. Vahl with Alaska Waste told the Board the he had recently done a research project on
recycling and he was trying to figure out ways to encourage folks to recycle due to the majority
of the time it cost money. He stated he was looking at the energy payback and what you get
back from recycling as a community. He found that you use 95% more energy if you try to
extract raw materials versus recycle materials.
Reports
a. Corrugated Cardboard Committee
M. Owen gave a brief report, stated there were phone calls made and that they had talked to
potential recyclers. She said she needed direction and would like help making calls. There was
discussion and it was decided to table the item until the next meeting.
b. Enforcement Officer
J. Maker gave a power point presentation to the Board and told them there weren't any new
issues since the last presentation. He felt there was less waste being left next to dumpsters and
on the side of the road due to regular monitoring during code enforcement patrols, public
awareness due to media coverage, timely large item cleanup at dumpsters, (he gave kudos to
Alaska Waste), blocking off problem areas, and partnering with USCG Military Police, Lesnoi,
State of Alaska, and Nick's Auto Wreckage. He told the Board that video surveillance at
dumpster sights and other areas, revising the KIB littering code, PSA campaigns, and more
signage were in the works.
c. Staff
W. Koning gave the Board his report on a conference he attended in LA on zero waste, the
Landfill Lateral Expansion /Leachate Management project, possible transfer site properties
being reviewed, and the proposal to extend the roll cart service area for which a public hearing
was scheduled April 7 2011 at the Assembly regular meeting.
