Recycling is an integral part of any zero waste program, and while recycling programs continue to improve many are quite limited as to the scope of materials they are able to process.
Island Gateway is setting a goal to increase the amount and types of materials recycled, going beyond what is currently accepted and processed by Bainbridge Island Disposal.
Many plastics and other materials that enter recycle bins never see the light of the processing plant. They are simply sorted out and sent to the landfill. By increasing the materials that can be recycled from our community we are moving closer to our goal of Zero Waste!If you are interested in learning more about what and where you can recycle certain items go to Sustainable Bainbridge’s wonderful website and take a look at their Road Map to Zero Waste. http://www.sustainablebainbridge.net/Zero%20Waste.html

Every couple of days, over the next few weeks, we will post about a selected element of our Zero Waste program so that you can learn more specifically about how the Island Gateway community is aspiring to become a Zero Waste community.
