Be a part of the zero waste culture change on Whidbey Island!
rePurpose works to educate the public, ignite community actions, and advance policy changes that move our community toward zero waste.
Founded in December 2021, we have experienced rapid involvement from our community. We have hundreds of members who are engaged and actively participating in zero waste actions. Many folks have significantly reduced their trash that goes 400 miles away to the Roosevelt Landfill by dropping off their reusable and hard to recycle materials each month at rePurpose.
Others are shopping for reusable materials in our Reuse Center. Families are sorting their reusables and recycling at zero waste events supported by rePurpose such as the Island Shakespeare Festival, Whidbey Island Dance Theater’s Nutcracker, and the South Whidbey Pride Festival.
Together, we’re creating a culture shift on Whidbey Island - away from an extractive society to a circular economy. Join us and make a difference!
