Zero Waste Initiative

The Zero Waste Initiative of Sustainable Bainbridge is dedicated to reducing the amount of trash generated on Bainbridge Island. We are diverting resources bound for the landfill by promoting waste reduction, reuse, recycling and composting.

The City of Bainbridge Island is reviewing a proposal to ban plastic bags at checkout stands. The ordinance, though not yet finalized, will be very similar to that of Seattle. View their ordinance here.

There will be a free screening of BAG IT, an entertaining hour-long documentary about plastic bags and plastic at the Bainbridge Public Library on Friday evening, February 17, at 6:30, followed by a post Q & A. Go here to see a preview.
