We’re committed to eliminating plastic bottled water from our festival, with vendors agreeing to forego sales of bottled water. While state laws and current health codes prevent refillable cups at beverage booths, we hope this changes in the near future.
Please join us in reducing plastic waste by bringing your own utensils, napkins, plates, coffee mugs, and water bottles to all the events you attend!
Unfortunately, very little plastic actually gets recycled. Furthermore, ‘compostable’ bio-plastics (cups, sporks, etc.) only break down in industrial composting, and therefore are trashed where these facilities are not available locally. Plastic linings of paper cups, trays and cartons make those items impossible to cost-effectively recycle. Our hearty thanks to festival vendors and patrons for collecting their food waste for compost and recycling waste cooking oil.
Special thanks to Waste Management for hauling our trash, recyclables, food and compostable waste.
