Fairbanks Daily News-Miner has more information:

The Fairbanks North Star Borough is taking recycling so seriously its new recycling program is recycled.

The Fairbanks Rescue Mission, which has operated a community recycling program for the past eight years, is providing the labor and equipment for the new borough-operated Central Recycling Facility, 1885 Marika Ave, that opens Friday.

Starting at noon, residents can bring their aluminum, paper, cardboard and plastic to the warehouse parking lot in the Aurora Subdivision much like they have been bringing materials to the homeless shelter on 27th Avenue.
