Yes! We are working towards the goal of being a zero waste event. This means that we strongly discourage any single use containers and prohibit the selling of water or beverages in plastic bottles. In our community, Aluminum is 10xs as likely to be recycled than plastic. It is for this reason that we prohibit the sale of beverages in plastic bottles.
Food items to be consumed at the market should be served in compostable containers. No Styrofoam is allowed at our market and it is now illegal to serve food in Styrofoam in Colorado. For more information please check out the FAQ for Green vendor Certification or contact dakota@YVSC.org.
In order to keep expenses down and to keep fees low, we ask that you take all your waste with you. Do not leave broken down cardboard or trash behind. We do not have a way to dispose of it and failure to follow this rule will result in a fine.
