Sustainability Guidelines for Guests & Vendors

 

​VegFest of Eastern Iowa plans to make this event as low waste as possible.
By following these simple guidelines, you can contribute to our sustainability goal!

​

Guests:

​

  • Carpool if you can!

​​

  •  We encourage you to bring your own reusable water bottle, if possible. Drinking fountains are available on each floor of the venue near the restrooms.

​

  • Please bring your own reusable bag to carry purchased items.

​​

  • Please do not throw recyclable items into the trash. Appropriate collection points will be provided for all materials.

​​

  • Dispose of all food scraps, napkins, and compostable tableware at compost collection points.

​​

  • If you have questions about disposal, ask a volunteer!

​

Vendors:

​

 

  • Food vendors must use only compostable disposable containers and utensils. 

​

  • Vendors will be expected to dispose of compostable waste generated ​by prep/clean-up in the designated bin, not in the trash.

​

  • Vendors are asked not to provide plastic bags and bottled water.


Thank you for your cooperation in being mindful of the world around us!

Animal Policy
​

Only certified service animals will be allowed at VegFest of Eastern Iowa.
​Because the event is mainly indoors and could become somewhat crowded, it would be best for companion animals to stay safely at home. Thank you for your understanding!
