This place is very confusing…read more "Alaska Recycling Center" appears to be the name of their website URL, not the name of the business. The name of the business is "Centeral Recycling Sevices" (CRS). When I asked the person working the machinery outside if this was the Alaska Recycling Center, he replied: "No, this is See-Are-Ess". Anyway, they are the same place. The address on Yelp will get you here. I recycled a muffler. Despite saying all over their website that they buy metal, it seems like that's only specific amounts. I wasn't offered any money, they just said I could leave it on the counter. Oh well, better than collecting dust in my garage.

I used the Yelp App to locate a place to recycle a 65" Flat Screen Samsung TV that had quit. I did…read morenot want to just throw it in the landfill. The App sent out two requests under the projects program for responses. Within 24 hours I received two excellent responses that fit my needs. The first was a local nonprofit recycling center with 6 miles. The other was Total Reclaim. Total Reclaim operates a recycling business that accepts on site delivery of recycling products including TV's and other electronics. I consulted their website for details and location and they were 50 miles away. They also have a pickup service in their local area but only rarely in my area. They do charge fees for their services. I choose the local facility because of closeness and smaller fees. It cost me just $7 to recycle the 100 pound TV. I encourage people to use the services of Total Recall when needed. The Anchorage Landfill operates a limited recycling program at the main landfill in Eagle River. It accepts glass which the MatSu Borough Landfill will not. They also accept hazardous materials but I am unsure about electronics. Check the websites for ALL locations to get details and costs concerning their individual operations. I encourage everyone to use the recycling programs to reduce waste, contamination and pollution.

Okay, this place is great!…read more There's a but ... that I will get to in a minute. So they take anything that's got electronics. All that gold, silver, tungsten and mercury boards, oh did I say all those non-recyclable Duracell and Energizer batteries. Yeah they take EVERYTHING... Lead, Dead Battery and Electronic-wise! So, there is a catch. You have to give them $15 bucks. Yeah they have to ship your electronics and batteries to the lower 48! They charge us. But before you say "Oh heck no" listen! Save up your electronics. Build it up. Collect it and store till you're ready. It's worth saving our precious landfills and water from deadly batteries and mercury metals. It's better to recycle and reuse! I'd pay $15 bucks to save the world ... would you?

Partner gave me airplane parts and other scrap metal and I found this place. I wasn't expecting any money, just didn't want to toss in the garbage, but this place bought the metal off me and I had enough for lunch. Business will recycle ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Park at the brown building and the gents will take the metal and give you a slip. You go through the line and get money from the person in the white trailer. Boom, money. While there big rigs came in dumping scrap and cars. Will come and scrap again.

Whenever I'm in town, our household starts recycling. On the north side of town, this location is…read morean easy access from the highway. Check online for details since they don't take all recyclables. They do take cardboard, newspapers, mixed paper, plastic bottles, and aluminum cans. In a separate building, there's a hazardous waste center, where I take our used batteries. There's a landfill here too, so for a fee they accept dump stuff.

I am so disappointed in the way I was treated by the employees of this company after a rock that…read morefell from their dump truck smashed my windshield On the Glenn Highway. I brought it to their attention immediately and was immediately treated rudely and essentially was told I was lying and that there is no way that could have happened. I explained that I saw the rock fly at me from the box, but they dismissed anything I said. I expected they would have offered to submit a claim through their insurance or perhaps offer to help pay for the repair. I used to be a customer, as I prefer to hire local companies, but I will never ever give business to these people who treat other people that way again.
