The Exchange/Orcas Recycling Services has launched an all-new, totally revamped website at www.exchangeorcas.org.

The new site, designed by Darin Leong at Blooming Mind Media and Erika Ekram at Odelae Design, not only provides basic info like hours of operation, location, pricing but also all kinds of information about the community waste stream.

The site goes into detail about what is and what is not recyclable, ideas for reducing your household waste stream, articles about where our island’s trash goes and much more.

In the “news” section, readers can find out the latest solid waste management news effecting Orcas, and get the latest on the rebuilding of The Exchange re-use center.

The “knowledge” section features information about where Orcas trash and recycling ends up, the importance of recycling batteries (and how to do it), and more.

The “inspiration” section highlights ideas, people and organizations who believe in the goal of “Zero Waste.”

Find out about the types of waste The Exchange can (and cannot) take, the history of the Exchange, how to volunteer and more.
