We are excited to announce that the Anchorage Municipal Assembly is recognizing and celebrating November 15th, 2022 as Anchorage Recycles Day and November as No Waste November.

Join our Less Waste Movement!
Anchor Gardens is all about reusing waste that would normally go into the landfill or trucked to the valley. We use it to grow food and sequester carbon. Each summer we stockpile waste from horses and other farm animals here in Southcentral to distribute to back yard gardeners and farmers. We accept leaves and grass from lawn services and individuals. We take food scraps for compost from neighbors. We take all sorts of cardboard. Each neighborhood in Anchorage has at least one coach who connects neighbors to each other to reuse our waste leaving less for our landfill and more food security for Anchorage.
Things you can start collecting now:
*Start a back yard frozen compost pail (or 35 gallon trash can) now that the bears have gone to sleep.
-Add your coffee grounds, non-meat/dairy scraps, leaves, etc
-Shred your old newspapers, phone books, other paper to layer in your compost pile.
*Stockpile your old Amazon or other cardboard boxes to use in the spring. *Card board is a perfect weed blocker.
If you make a small donation of $10 or more today, you will become a part of our “Less Waste Movement.” We will use these donations to bring even more backyard garden and urban farm resources and teaching to Anchorage.
Thank you!
