Festival attendees were given many recycling options to choose from. Recycling bins were set up throughout festival grounds for plastic bottles, metal cans, lemonade cups and French fry buckets. There were also bins to collect compostable material.
Arts Festival gets “greener” each year thanks to the efforts of Fest Zero; a group of Penn State Alumni, current students and concerned citizens, the Borough of State College, the Pennsylvania State University and the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority.
Although waste reduction was key to this festival, we were still able to donate about 17 pounds of food to local shelters following the event.
We were glad to be back in person for the festival. We will continue to work to minimize the amount of trash produced at this wonderful event.
Thanks to everyone who did the right thing!
