A notice<\/a> published by CBJ on Tuesday morning states the recycling facility is full to capacity and cannot accept any more recycling material.<\/p>\n“Unfortunately, the volume of material that arrives daily eliminates the use of containers as an alternative option,” the notice adds.<\/p>\n
The notice doesn’t apply to curbside recycling, which is picked up by Alaska Waste and is not affiliated with CBJ.<\/p>\n
Ashton said on Tuesday morning when he was putting up signs and making plans for dealing with the equipment failure “I think I saw about 30 to 50 people come through” within an hour.<\/p>\n
“Throughout the day we have at least 200 visitors on average a day,” he said.<\/p>\n
Once the equipment is repaired it shouldn’t be a problem if there’s a deluge of traffic who bring their accumulated recycling in during the coming days, Ashton said.<\/p>\n
“They’ll do overtime, whatever we need to do to clear stuff as fast as possible within safety constraints and hours of operation,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
