Handling Food Scraps: at events

1) The key to handling food scraps at any size event, is knowing IN ADVANCE what's going to be in the compost. See our page "Working with Vendors" for tips on how to minimize unwanted items.

2) Determine IN ADVANCE, where the food scraps will end up, and who will take them away from the event.

• Arrange with a hauler to take your food scraps, or bring them to a Food Scrap Drop Off Site. 
  
• Here's a list what can be accepted in these compost bins.​​

Vermont's Universal Recycling Law (Act 148) Bans recycleables, food scraps and leaf and yard waste from the landfill.  The ban on recyclables has been in place since July 1, 2015. Now is the time to reimagine how to manage waste at your event, both to comply with Vermont law, and to offer an added benefit to your participants; you’re leading by example with best practice on waste reduction in Vermont!
