Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

To inspire and facilitate resource conservation through recycling, waste prevention and materials reuse in the Methow Valley.

  • 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 2023 we recycled 568,150lbs of curbside recycling, 125,160lbs of glass and 421,405lbs of other recycling for a total of over 1.1 millionpounds.

    Expenses $187,834

  • EDUCATION & OUTREACH: IN-PERSON CONTACT WITH EVERY PERSON ENTERING RECYCLING CAMPUS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION AND ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT ALL PROGRAMS. In 2023 we ran our three week long kids summer camp, ReMake Camp, serving 105 kids with the curriculum of building resilience through repair, reuse, and recycling. This program was offered for free to localkids through a partnership with the school district. We also had more than 300 attendees at our Earth Day event, 150 people at our local Harvest Festival and more than 500 people through other community outreach and education events.

    Expenses $80,720

  • WASTE PREVENTION: Conducted a 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 79% successful repair rate for more than 230 successful repairs provided by volunteer repairers, and diverted countless items from the landfill. 518 customers bought reclaimed materials at our ReMake Center where we take donations of building materials to divert them from the landfill and ask customers for a suggested donation to the program to take them for use. We also achieved more than 5,500lbs of carbon savings from the top ten tools borrowed from our tool Share Library. In July 2023 we piloted a residential composting program in partnership with local business B2G Compost and have seen strong growth from 132lbs collected in our first month to nearly 1000lbs collected across two community drop-off locations by the end of December.

    Expenses $24,142

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. 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.
