County offers waste reduction program


August 10, 2012 · Updated 12:26 PM 

PORT ORCHARD — Kitsap County Public Works Solid Waste Division has introduced “Waste Wise @ Work,” a free and voluntary program where experts provide technical assistance for businesses to start new recycling programs.

Funded by a grant from the state Department of Ecology, the program provides a limited number of desk-side blue bins to businesses that opt to sign up for commercial collection service.

The program provides certification to companies that qualify, and recognizes them for their efforts.

For more information, call Chris Piercy, Kitsap County recycling coordinator, (360) 337-4898.
