AD Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I love Bluesfest, but here's yet another issue that should be addressed to make it even better. Bluesfest has a "full recycling policy" forcing vendors to only use recyclable and biodegradable containers... but no recycling bins are present on-site so everything ends up in the garbage anyway.

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 (edited) there are at least some tubes to throw your beer cups down, attached to the garbage cans and actually i think there are recycling bins anyway here and there Edited July 12, 2007 by Guest gungla la gunga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I recycled my Mountain Dew can at the River Stage, and tonight I saw two volunteers sifting through the garbage for recyclables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I'm not sure, but I think the recycle barrel I used at the River Stage was part of the Gold Circle area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 what the hell? the food we got came in big styrofoam containers. pretty sure those aren't recyclable. Was it real polystyrene, though? There are a lot of substitute products these days that look and feel like polystyrene but are actually made of other, recyclable materials.I actually know of one company based in Thailand that makes "plastic" plates and utensils, as well as supermarket-style trays out of tapioca, of all things. Everything is 100% recyclable. I think the company will be huge one day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 The recycling coordinator specifically said he can't ask volunteers to dig through garbage - i guess some are really committed. And yes, there are glass and plastic bins but the biodegradable plates and bowls vendors were forced to buy have nothing to send them to the composter.

bouche Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 There were separate garbage bins near the food vendors with poorly made signs on the front stating garbage and plastics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
