An All-Volunteer Organization
Sustainable Bainbridge would not exist without volunteers like you! Please contact us if you are interested in getting involved in any of our programs or in any of the opportunities listed below. You are also invited to attend any of our many events or even a Sustainable Bainbridge board meeting.
Additionally, if you have a sustainability idea that you are interested in heading up and would like Sustainable Bainbridge to consider supporting, please contact us to discuss.
Fix-it Fair Volunteers
Do you have a knack for or expertise in repairing things? Sustainable Bainbridge and BARN co-host three Fix-it Fairs a year and we need fixers of all sorts: Jewelry, small appliances, electronics, clothes and textiles, bicycles, vacuums, lamps. Please email Heather Dowey to get on our fixer list.
Clothing/textile menders especially needed for our next event on March 7, 2026!
Tableware Lending Library Helpers
The Zero Waste Tableware Lending Library lends out free tableware to organizations and individuals for more than 260 events annually. We need volunteer librarians to help manage the inventory and/or liaise with borrowers. Please contact Jane Martin if you are interested in helping to keep this fabulous island resource going!
Scrap Metal Sorting
Drop in the second or fourth Saturday of each month from 11am-noon at the Bainbridge Island Senior & Community Center to help sort magnetic from nonmagnetic household metal that people have dropped off. Email Barbara Ochota with questions. This is a joint program by Zero Waste and the BISCC. To see what is collected, go here.
