Waste Free Holidays

Program Requirements

Waste Free Holidays is a partnership between Kitsap County and local businesses and organizations to provide discounts on tickets and gift certificates to music, sports, plays, restaurants, massages, lessons and more. The goal is to encourage holiday shoppers to reduce waste and raise awareness about holiday waste prevention.

How to Participate

• Businesses or organizations must provide a minimum 15 percent discount on gift certificates, tickets to a specific event or show, or a membership - whatever works for your type of organization and is an "Experience".
• The discount is offered only from November 15 to December 31, 2009.
• Participants must reside in Kitsap County to be eligible.
• Value add-on's are not accepted such as a free item in addition to the regular item - or two for one deals.

Kitsap County Solid Waste Division (SWD) reserves the right to reject any applications they feel are not appropriate for the program, or to ask organizations to revise offers to meet program requirements.

Benefits to Participating Businesses and Organizations

• Waste Free Holidays Web site: Your discounted offer will have its own individual page on the Waste Free Holidays Web site. This site can be linked to your organization's site and is linked widely to other web sites throughout the region.
• Media promotions and advertisements: We’ll promote the program in the Kitsap Sun and Kitsap Newsgroup, and the regional consortium will advertise it in the Seattle Times, on radio, and on television through Comcast, KCTS, and KOMO.
• Your own marketing materials and a tracking form.

Ready?  Applications will be available in September 2009.
