Pledge to Erase the Waste: Businesses

Bainbridge Island is working to reduce single-use plastics to protect our marine environment and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Starting in 2023, retail food and lodging establishments will have new requirements to reduce plastic waste associated with onsite dining, to-go food orders, and packaging for personal care products.

You can get a jump-start on the 2023 requirements and receive recognition as a Climate Smart Bainbridge business leader by pledging to reduce your use of single-use plastics now, before the new requirements go into effect.

Your business is responsible for maintaining and upholding the pledge items that you chose.

**Please remember that Styrofoam is not allowed for onsite dining or takeout orders**
