Trashless Community Support Program

Let Us Support Each Other, Sustainably & Transparently

Many households are hurting for lack of affordable fresh produce and other essential household items. The Trashless Community Support Program helps those families access essential items at no or reduced costs through the support of local and global communities, in a completely transparent manner.

The Program is an easy and accountable way for people to support others in their community.

This, in turn, also helps local producers get their products out to more people - a supportive cycle that works for everyone.

Why apply for support?

No Compromises The products and services you’ll receive through this program are the same as are delivered to customers paying full price. In fact, sellers on Trashless do not have access to that information - for them, all deliveries are and should be the same.	Sliding Scale Financial hardship is not a one-size fits all - different people, in different circumstances need different levels of support. This fact is built into this program - enabling you to state the level of support you need - and when approved, receive it.
Convenience Sellers on Trashless collaborate to deliver products to customers directly - making it convenient for you to receive what you need.	Wide Range, Good Quality There is a wide breadth of high quality products and services available from sellers on Trashless - serving many essential needs.
Participate Through this program you will be participating in supporting our local business ecosystem, and discover wonderful farmers, producers and sellers in business around you.	Build Community Connect with other people giving support or receiving it. Hear their stories, share yours, and build more community connections.

Expectation of Responsible Citizenship of our Community

Participation in this program comes with an expectation to be responsible members of the Trashless community. Most products sold through Trashless are delivered in zero-waste packaging - which must be returned so that they can be sanitized and reused for the next customer. These items are not meant to be kept.

Everyone in the community - customers, sellers, producers are expected to treat each other with respect, and issues resolved in a collaborative manner.

How does the program work for those looking for support?

Please apply for support by signing up and answering a few simple questions at this link.

We are currently reviewing and processing applications within 5 business days, on a first come first served basis.

After approval, you will receive an email with a code you can use to make purchases at the approved discount, across all the products available for delivery in your zip code.

Ability to make purchases is subject to program funds availability - which can be checked live on this page. If the program funds are depleted, then the discount code will not be usable.

This Program is a transparent and accountable community support marketplace. In the spirit of transparency, the first name and last initial of each support recipient is published on this page.

We are constantly fundraising to keep funds available in the program. You can help by spreading the word - no contribution is too small - so this can continue to help as many people as possible, while also supporting producers and suppliers in the Trashless ecosystem.

Quality of products

Everyone - regular as well as supported customers - receive the same quality of products. In fact, the information about who is regular and who is supported is not even shared with sellers on Trashless.

We will be with you shortly to deliver good news!

May 14, 2020

Thanks to so many of you for adding a percentage above your orders to go to this program. Our engineers are working on a system for the contributions to become automated, and applicant approval process to become streamlined over the next week or so. Then the program will actually go into operation. Thank you for your patience. And if you haven't already, please take a moment to add a 'tip' into the program by clicking on Contribute above - it's quick and easy.

May 7, 2020

Many of you have often asked, "Can we tip the Lettuce driver?"

With this program off to a modest start - many stories are emerging about families struggling financially for basic essentials. Lost incomes, disabilities, health challenges and more... people need help now more than ever, thanks to COVID-19.

A big thank you to those who have contributed directly to the program, or committed a % above their purchases.

So, if you've wondered about how to tip - it's simple - add your tip in the form of a contribution to the TCSP. It takes a minute, and you can change it anytime.

And now with Trashless up and running, people supported through the program can get other household staples like grains, flour, spices, nuts and more . . .

We are looking to approve support applicants and get deliveries to them started in a couple of weeks. Please help us get to a critical mass of contributions so we can make a strong start!
