North Bay Zero Waste Week takes place each October. It is a grass-roots approach to raise awareness about the environmental impacts of waste and ways to live a more zero waste lifestyle. Throughout the week of events, groups around the North Bay Area demonstrate how they are part of the solution through public education events and activities that focus on reducing, reusing, recycling, repurposing and composting. Zero Waste can also apply to resource use like water and energy conservation. This is about mindful use and consumption. Anyone can be part of the solution!

Zero Waste Sonoma is the presenting agency for Zero Waste Week, and collaborates with many businesses, nonprofit organizations, and public agencies in Sonoma and Marin Counties, including Zero Waste Marin, Sonoma Community Center, Sonoma County Regional Parks, Reuse Alliance, UCCE Master Gardeners of Sonoma County, Community Market, Russian Riverkeeper, Recology Sonoma Marin, Marin Sanitary Service, Sonoma County Resource Recovery, cities across the two counties, and many more!

We are always open to new community partners, and even offer mini-grants to groups who host an in-person event in Sonoma County. For more information, please email zerowastesonoma@sonomacounty.gov.
