Businesses Invited to Partner with Waste Free Holidays

(Port Orchard) – Kitsap County businesses are invited to participate in the regional Waste Free Holidays program in an effort to help residents reduce holiday waste. “Give experiences instead of stuff” is the theme of the campaign, which encourages residents to rethink shopping habits. Participating businesses offer discounts of 15% or more on tickets or gift certificates for music, plays, sporting events, museums, restaurant meals, spa treatments, lodging, tanning, or other “gift” services purchased from November 16th to December 31st.

The program is a joint effort of Kitsap County Public Works Solid Waste Division and other area local governments to provide incentives for shoppers to “think outside the box”. Participating companies will be recognized on the regional Waste Free Holidays website as well as local print ads and other materials. There is no cost to join the Waste Free Holidays program other than the discount offered. To join, visit www.kitsapgov.com/sw and complete the application no later than October 31st. For more information, contact The Open Line at 360-337-5777.
