Hefty® EnergyBag® Program
Hefty is filling the gap to help collect plastics that are otherwise hard-to-recycle. Just collect the plastics into the orange bag and we’ll pick them up or take them at our recycling center.
Community Collaboration
KAB loves to collaborate with other organizations! Through these collaborations we are able to reach more of our community so that we can educate people on why recycling is so important and how KAB can help make it easy and fun. Learn more about our different collaborations in the past and stay tuned to the Events section here as well as on Facebook.
Curbside Recycling
The curbside recycling test program started February 21, 2018. Each participant is given a magnet and brochure of everything KAB recycles.. Our recycling team picks up recyclables bimonthly. This program will be open to the public in May.
School Programs
Black Ops
Black Ops is an education program that is conducted throughout 3rd grade classrooms at Grandview Elementary School, Saint Agnes Academy, and the Immanuel Lutheran School in Alliance. Environmental missions are delivered to the classrooms and the students complete them together with their teachers. Some of the missions require the students to collect recyclable items from home. When the classes have completed their missions they return them to the Education Coordinator. As the missions are completed, the students progress through different ranks of the military. They begin as privates and graduate from the program as colonels. The students receive dog tags made of recycled tires at the beginning of the program and t-shirts at the end.
