Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities
Fix-it Fair
Volunteer Fixers
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!
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 keeping this fabulous island resource going!
Litter Pick-up
80% of ocean litter comes from the land. If you’d like to do some trash pick-up and need to borrow a grabber, email Zero Waste. If you’re getting together for a group pick-up, we can lend out about 25 grabbers.
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.
