Educate the community and transform the united states virgin islands into a net zero waste, carbon-neutral territory in order to protect the environment and ensure the health, welfare and economic security of the islands and its people.

What it reported doing in 2025

Aluminum can crushing & ocean bound plastic recycling- island green living operates st. John's only aluminum and ocean-bound plastic recycling programs. The aluminum recycling program has collected and recycled nearly 5 million cans since inception. Approximately 155,000 lbs of certified ocean-bound #1,2 and 5 plastics have been reclaimed since partnership with padnos, a top us recycling company in 2022. In addition to drop-offs of recyclables by the community at the resource depot, collaboration with vi waste management authority allows island green to collect the material at specially marked bins at popular trash sites throughout the island and from select local businesses through our recycling business partners program. Items are then processed by island green and shipped to padnos.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 72% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filed totals do not add up.
