Want to add a little fun and games to your pool party? Invite us!
We enjoy engaging children, youth, and adults in multifamily communities about garbage, recycling, and waste reduction. We have games and prizes to encourage residents to refresh their recycling knowledge, learn easy and creative ways to keep their food from going bad, and talk about ways to save money and help the environment at the same time. Contact us today with your event details, and we'll bring free resources and games to help folks reduce, reuse, and recycle!

ClackCo Libraries of Things & Seed Libraries |
Want to try new things, like canning, sewing, or playing a ukelele, but don't want to pay for expensive equipment? The ClackCo Library of Things is here for you! Patrons of nine (9) ClackCo Libraries can check out kitchenware, instruments, games, and more. A bubble machine, karaoke machine, and party lights can add fun and excitement to your next party while saving you money AND helping the environment. By sharing items with our community, we reduce the need to create more stuff and lessen impacts to the planet. Visit one of these ClackCo Libraries of Things to explore something new today:
Canby, Estacada, Hoodland, Lake Oswego, Milwaukie, Oregon City, Sandy, West Linn, and Wilsonville.
Seed Libraries are another way to connect to your community and the planet. A seed library is a community resource that provides free access to seeds for patrons to grow and sow vegetables, herbs, and flowers at home.

In sticking with the theme of saving money and the planet, Oregon's Bring Your Own law makes it easier to cut back on trash by eliminating single-use cups and containers and allowing customers to bring their own clean, reusable cup or container to participating restaurants, cafes, and food carts.
Businesses are not required to participate, but participation allows them to cut down on costs and protect the environment - a win-win. To learn more and to find tools to help your favorite restaurants and food businesses get onboard, visit choose2reuse.org.
