Recycling & Compost Program
We know that not every piece of waste is trash...
...so we're now offering recycling and composting centers throughout our market for patrons to help our event become a more sustainable and eco-friendly environment! Before you pitch your plastic bottle, apple core or paper napkin, please look for nearby signage and bright blue flags to locate a recycling and compost center. The helpful signage will show patrons exactly what can be recycled or composted, or what is just plain ol' trash. If you have questions, we're happy to help!
