The Toxic-Free Paper Pilot Program is coming to an end. This is your last chance to get your 10 rolls of FREE toxic-free receipt paper!
Did you know that you may be exposing yourself to toxic chemicals when you touch a cash register receipt? Bisphenols are chemicals that may be found in cash register receipts. Starting January 1, 2026, Bisphenol-container thermal paper will not be allowed for sale, manufacture, or distribution in Washington State. Although many businesses are switching to safer products, there are many ways you can reduce your customers and staff potential exposure:
- Avoid handing out receipts – ask customers if they need a receipt before printing
- Go paperless – encourage the use of digital e-receipts
- Switch to bisphenol-free receipt paper (BPA & BPS-free paper)
If your business is eligible, the City of Kirkland would like to assist your business in becoming bisphenol-free. Research what type of paper your business currently uses. If it is not bisphenol-free (either Bisphenol-A (BPA) or its chemical cousin Bisphenol-S (BPS)), the City is asking that you throw existing receipt paper away in trash and we will provide your business with ten (10) rolls of bisphenol-free paper. Do not dispose of the waste bisphenol paper in the recycling or compost, in the trash only. After you have used up the bisphenol-free paper the City provided, continue to purchase bisphenol-free paper.
Several businesses have made the switch to toxic free paper. If you are interested in receiving your free ten (10) rolls of bisphenol-free paper, contact Ryean-Marie Tuomisto at rtuomisto@kirklandwa.gov.
