Expected Impacts:
This community event helps shift the culture to encourage more sustainable practices. Reducing the amount of waste that goes into our landfill and giving items another opportunity. It celebrates the skill sets to repair or repurpose items we would likely throw away or keep in storage forever.
Synergy with other priorities: This program is aligned with Teton County’s Integrated Solid Waste and Recycling (ISWR) Road to Zero Waste program with a goal to divert 60% of waste from our landfills by 2030.
