Kodiak Island Borough — Solid Waste Advisory Board Regular Meeting

The Kodiak Island Borough Solid Waste Advisory Board (SWAB) is scheduled to meet on November 4, 2026, at the Kodiak Fisheries Research Center. The agenda includes a review of financial reports, specifically an accumulated transaction report from October 30, 2026, and updates on various waste management reports from entities including Alaska Waste, the City of Kodiak, and the US Coast Guard. A significant focus of the board's recent activity involves a cardboard recycling campaign. The board previously approved $1,000 for the finalization of dumpster sticker designs, which was processed as a payment to Bruce W. Nelson on September 26, 2026. The campaign features bear-themed artwork with the slogan "Cardboard is Cash! Not Trash!" Previous meeting minutes from September 9, 2026, highlight the board's work on Resolution FY2027-01, which focuses on bear management and adaptive planning. The board also maintains an inventory of outreach materials, including stickers, coloring books, and tote bags, to promote recycling and waste reduction efforts within the borough.
