How can I participate in donating disposable chopsticks to The Waribashi Project?
If you are a business/restaurant in San Francisco Japantown, we would love your chopsticks. Simply collect the used disposable chopsticks from your customers after they eat. Shake off large bits of food that might be stuck on them and put them in the small green bin that we provide. We will collect your chopsticks several times a week. Later you will be asked to put your used chopsticks in large green bins (look for Waribashi Project signs) near the Japantown Merchants Association office in the Japantown Garage. The Project will wash the waribashi for reuse in sculpture. If you have chopsticks in your kitchen drawers that you have to get rid of, you can drop them off at the JCCCNC, 1840 Sutter Street in San Francisco. Map.
