Get Involved

Get involved in shaping Seattle’s waste prevention future.

Over the past three years, you shared your ideas with us about how Seattle can reduce waste and reuse more. We’ve used that feedback to create goals, focus areas, and key strategies for our Waste Prevention Strategic Plan and 2026-2030 Action Plan. Now, we want to check in to confirm that our plan is clear and if it reflects the priorities that the community has shared with us.

There will be more opportunities for communities to provide feedback on the planning effort.
