Waste Management Food Vendor Guidelines |
 |
WELCOME new and returning food vendors!
The WVFF, in conjunction with Campus Recycling, is proud to have a reduced waste Folk Festival. Your support and participation in this project is appreciated and vital for success. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION!
Over the recent years, Campus Recycling has been working to increase waste diversion at all campus events. Due to efforts to recycle and compost (food waste, paper disposables, real plates and forks), we have been able to reduce the overall material going to the landfill from this event by 70%. The system includes recycling of standard materials such as: glass, cardboard, plastic bottles/tubs/jars, clean plastic bags, metals, and cooking grease. Compostables include food waste and paper products.
Campus Recycling and the Cultural Forum are proud to lead the university community in practicing environmental stewardship through waste reduction at all campus events.
HOW CAN YOU HELP???
1. Use WAXED CUPS instead of plastic. Waxed cups break down in the composting process.
2. Use PAPER products that are compostable with our system, and do NOT use any plastic lined plates or bowls. STYROFOAM IS BANNED AT UO!
3. Use REUSABLE BULK CONDIMENTS. Individual condiment containers are not recyclable, contaminate the composting and generate waste.
4. Do NOT GIVE OUT STRAWS AND LIDS unless requested. Straws and lids are garbage items.
5. FOLLOW attached guidelines for recycling/composting and foodware purchases.
Thanks for doing your part to
make the 2005 Willamette Valley Folk Festival
a reduced waste event!
