The Zero Waste Collection Event began as a conversation between Mrs. Green’s World, Goodwill of Southern AZ, and Tucson Environmental Services. After some research and a visit to Tempe to observe their collection event, the group reached out to local Tucson groups to generate interest. Tucsonans are committed to building a sustainable environment so there are numerous opportunities to donate goods, recycle, or repurpose. The Zero Waste Collection Event gathers organizations who offer community options for waste diversion. Through participation in the collection event, they are able to collect these materials and highlight these opportunities that are available throughout the community.
