Kitsap County partnership offers
Waste Free Holidays discounts
Kitsap County residents have the opportunity to purchase “experience” gifts at discounted prices of 15-50 percent at participating companies from Nov. 15 – Dec. 31. These gifts include tickets for concerts and sporting events, and gift certificates for restaurant meals, bed & breakfast stays, spa treatments, massages and more. Details on all the offers and the participating partners are posted at www.wastefreeholidays.com.

“Kitsap County’s partnership with local businesses is part of a regional effort to celebrate experiences rather than accumulating more “stuff” — and it supports waste reduction in a big way,” says Colleen Minion-Pierce, Kitsap County’s Waste Free Holidays program coordinator. The program started ten years ago in King County and has been joined by Kitsap, Thurston, and Pierce Counties as a way to promote waste reduction and conservation.
