Fresh Green
Recycle
Once the first step to being “green”… recycling now falls near the end of the eco-chain, but remains a vital part of our Festival plans. After we’ve reduced what we can, reused what we can, we then look at what we can recycle, ultimately keeping the materials free from landfills and turning them into future products (this process can also reduce the need to create new materials for future products). At Bumbershoot, we take recycling serious!
So, what precisely gets recycled?
- To start, we make sure there’s recycle bins throughout the grounds, to help you make waste-wise choices when it comes time to stash your trash
- Around the grounds Bumbershoot food vendors recycle their used grease (turning it into biodiesel!)
- Additionally, all vendors take part in a pre-consumer composting program recycling food scraps into compost
