By collecting and recycling e-waste, Backhaul Alaska has successfully removed over 300,000 lbs of lead acid batteries. Featured on Ticker News last month, the program's significant strides in environmental management were showcased.

Reilly Kosinski, the Statewide Coordinator, shared insights into this milestone: "Backhaul Alaska is more than just a program; it's a lifeline for communities tackling hazardous waste management in some of the most remote parts of Alaska." His passion highlights the critical nature of our mission, emphasizing the program's role in protecting local environments and supporting community health.

Reilly further explained the operational challenges and the crucial support from partners like the Responsible Battery Coalition, which not only contributes financially but also offers technical support and supplies. This partnership amplifies our efforts to extend our reach and improve waste management practices across Alaska.

As we look to the future, Backhaul Alaska is set to expand its scope, aiming to include more materials and communities. Reilly shared his vision for the program, "We're not just recycling waste; we're fostering community resilience and ensuring a healthier future for all Alaskans."
