Recycling at RibFest |
|
We are very proud of our past recycling efforts for the big event at Rocky Point Park and we were again committed to this important initiative and element of the event in 2018! Below are some highlights from this past year's event:
Organic Recycling
We also processed Mixed Single Stream Recycling, Cardboard Recycling, Park Garbage, and Ribber's Garbage in addition to:
Plastic Outer Wraps and Bags
Organic Recycling
- We filled and tipped 194 wheeled 240 L green waste carts - that's as much as 46,560 L of green waste! This is an increase from 2016 as we filled 160 carts last year!
- 5,000 KG or 11,000 pounds of organic waste was diverted from landfills into compost at RibFest this past!
We also processed Mixed Single Stream Recycling, Cardboard Recycling, Park Garbage, and Ribber's Garbage in addition to:
Plastic Outer Wraps and Bags
- All 4 stations had large clear plastic bags we used to collect any and all plastic outer wraps and the bags were taken to the Encorp Return It Depot each day for handling.
- All 4 stations also had large clear plastic bags where we collected all the plastic bottles, Aluminum cans, etc, and consolidated them for daily pick up by a recycling company we contracted.
