We are happy to announce that ZeroLandfillDenver (ZLD) has been adopted by Women in Design, Denver and are beginning the program in March 2017!
About the Program:
ZeroLandfill is an award-winning up cycling program held seasonally that diverts expired specification samples and supports the needs of local artists and art educators while reducing pressure on local landfill capacity.
POLLINATION:
Collection of materials from design firms to collection site during a specific window of time.
Collection requirements
- Firms will bring Discontinued, expired or unused samples from their Designer libraries. No paper or product catalogs or tip cards will be accepted.
- Please sort items by type in boxes with firm/organization name clearly marked.
- If possible, remove binders and/or backing and recycle at your home or workplace.
CULTIVATE:
Separation, sorting and weighing of samples. Volunteers needed. This is often a fun, bonding interaction with amazing people from the community.
HARVEST:
The public comes to take samples away for their use.
