Zero Waste
KJES can consult with vendors to help with zero waste strategies. We need your help to eliminate garbage from the festival. We are asking vendors to do as much as possible to help reduce waste. Thank you for your cooperation.
On site waste stations are for PATRONS ONLY. Vendors will transfer their waste to the specified location in the parking area. Failure to comply will result in loss of damage deposit.
Zero Waste Hints: PLEASE CONTACT KJES FOR BIO-DEGRADABLE FOOD SERVICE SUPPLIES
  • Sell food/beverages at the event in packaging that can be recycled or composted. Reduce use of disposables wherever possible.
  • Please DO NOT sell food/beverages packaged in non-recyclable or non-compostable materials, for example: Polysterene, Glass (for safety reasons), Waxed cardboard. Recyclable plastic in our area are numbers 1, 2, 4, 5 & 7.
  • Avoid single serving items: instead use large closable dispensers or squeeze bottles for items like sugar, cream, sauce, salad dressing, mustard, relish, etc. Bulk containers need to meet health requirements.
  • Eliminate unnecessary waste items, over-packaging & products that are over-packaged (such as pre-packaged sugar, cream, sauce, ketchup, etc.) Reduce the use of plastic cutlery (use wooden stir sticks) and plastic bags.
  • Correctly sort and properly dispose of waste, recyclables, and compostables at the event.
  • Rinse clean all recyclable containers used in food preparation and dispose of at the main recycling depot in the parking lot.
  • Bring goods into the festival in cardboard or reusable boxes/containers.
Our goal is to eliminate garbage going into landfills! We need your help!
