To the editor:
Thank you to the Review for giving the BI Zero Waste Holiday Recycling Guide wide readership in its editorial last week.
The volunteers of Zero Waste, an initiative of Sustainable Bainbridge, work hard year-round finding ways for the community (citizens, businesses, events, schools, organizations) to reduce, reuse and recycle/compost. By keeping what we can out of the trash, we waste fewer resources and the energy and water used to manufacture them.
Here’s breaking news since our holiday guide was printed: The Bainbridge Disposal Transfer Station (not curbside) will now recycle anything with a cord, except for lights. Look for the big boxes where E-waste goes. But remember, if it still works, pass it on via Buy Nothing Bainbridge, Freecycle, the local thrift stores or Goodwill truck!
