The Backhaul Project focuses on removing electronic waste from rural Alaska.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Electronic waste can often pose an issue in rural areas that simply don’t have the resources to dispose of it properly. For the past 6 years, Project Backhaul has offered a solution.
The 2023 project visited more than nine towns and villages in the Yukon-Kuskokwim region, as well as several fish camps. Electronics can also contain valuable non-renewable resources such as gold, silver, copper, platinum, aluminum, and cobalt. The majority of this is found printed onto the circuit boards and can easily be repurposed. According to the Global E-Waste Monitor, around $57 billion worth of gold, silver, copper, platinum, and other recoverable metals were dumped in 2019.
