History
Starting out as a one-room cabin on the grounds of the Orcas Transfer Station, The Exchange grew organically into a whimsical collection of sheds, tents, and handmade structures filled with useful items that would otherwise end up in a landfill.
Specialties
The Exchange redirects and redistributes thousands of tons of material into the community that would have otherwise ended up in the large and unsustainable landfills of the western United States. Our mission is to build a zero waste community through service, education and stewardship of Orcas Island's waste and resource streams.
