Jeanne Olson stands next to homemade recycle bins at the borough transfer site in North Pole on Tuesday morning, June 10, 2008. Olson and other community members are building and organizing bins to make it cleaner and more user friendly for "dumpster divers" who reuse items thrown away by others. "Dumpster divers are 'Git-R-Done' type of people," Olson said referring to the popular phrase that is on her hat, which came from the transfer site. Bins, which are made completely of recycled material including the paint for the signs, have already been established for adult clothes, children's clothes and shoes, with plans for at least two more for books and small appliances.
