Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To inspire and facilitate resource conservation through recycling, waste prevention and materials reuse in rural Washington.

  • RECYCLING: Provided stable, successful, full-service recycling in N Central WA. Enhanced our collaborative relationships, our reputation for excellence with recycling buyers, and strong public support. In 2024 we recycled 580,250lbs of curbside recycling, 76,960lbs of glass and 319,210lbs of other recycling for a total of over 976,000 pounds.

    Expenses $194,658

  • EDUCATION & OUTREACH: IN-PERSON CONTACT WITH EVERY PERSON ENTERING RECYCLING CAMPUS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION AND ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT ALL PROGRAMS. In 2024 we had more than 300 attendees at our Earth Day event, we offered an after school repair club that ran for seven weeks and served 12 children, We reached more than 500 people through other community outreach and education events such as the fall art walk and farmers market appearances.

    Expenses $45,947

  • WASTE PREVENTION: Conducted a monthly repair cafe on the third Saturday of every month in partnership with our local food bank. This program served more than 200 people at a 80% successful repair rate for more than 300 successful repairs provided by volunteer repairers, and diverted countless items from the landfill. Over 500 customers bought reclaimed materials at our ReMake Center where we take donations of building materials to divert them from the landfill and ask customers can buy them for a discounted price. We also achieved more than 5,500lbs of carbon savings from the top ten tools borrowed from our tool Share Library. In 2024 our residential composting program in partnership with local business B2G Compost collected over 8,400lbs if kitchen scraps across two community drop-off locations.

    Expenses $8,525

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
