Food waste – both from preparing food to sell
to your visitors and from the scraps they throw
away, can comprise up to 30% of what you pay
haulers to remove from your site as waste.
Composting is an excellent way to lower monthly hauling costs, including
tipping fees. Plus, it lowers your carbon footprint by reducing the
amount of fuel needed to cart the material to a landfill.
Many fairs have built-in compostables – that is,
lots of manure. There are a number of options
for implementing composting on site at your
venue, from the simple to the complex,
depending on your needs, budget and location
relative to homes, neighborhoods and industrial
facilities.
We can review your operations to help you determine whether
composting makes sense for your venue, and if so, what type of
equipment, investment of time and money would be needed. You may
be surprised at what low cost and low-tech options can achieve for you.
