Have you taken the Kitsap County Recycling Quiz? This is what we found out: 1 - We’ve been doing some things right :) 2 - We’ve been doing some things wrong! Thank you to Kitsap County Recycling Outreach Coordinator, Caitlin Newman for posting the quiz on nextdoor.com and setting the record straight on some common misperceptions.

See the whole recycling guide at: Our local recycling machines sort materials by shape.

Don’t crush them!

Leave lid on tin cans and push downward. Plastic bags and wires get tangled in the machines, so leave them out!

Kickin’ It With K9s Orientation

Brem 105 N

1/7, 1/18, 2/4, 2/15 Kitsap Humane Society is inviting community members to take dogs on field trips to the park, to the beach, and other dog-friendly destinations in Kitsap – even sleepovers at your home! – to give them a break from the stress of shelter life. All that is required to get started is a quick, 20-minute orientation. Then you can be on your way with your shelter dog, some simple instructions, and a special doggie backpack filled with supplies! Daytime field trips are scheduled seven days a week, except during shelter open hours, when dogs need to be in their kennels to meet potential adopters.

Orientations will be held on the first Tuesday and third Saturday of each month at 10:00 a.m. Learn more by checking out the Kickin’ It With K9s page!

You must sign up for the Orientation
