UNWASTED The National Folk Festival would like to encourage you all to get behind our yearly effort to reduce festival waste to landfill. In the past we have had the amazing Wastebusters onsite who helped us sort out organic and recyclable waste from landfill. Unfortunately this year they can’t be with us so we will be flying solo! There will be organic, recycling and general waste bins around the site and we ask that you conscientiously sort your waste into the correct bins. It’s handy to know that all catering supplies from our stallholders are biodegradable! Your fork, plate and napkin can all go in the organic bin. Your Coopers cup can go into the recycling bin. The aim is to get as little as possible sent to landfill!

This year for the first time we have The Yellow Van operating onsite for our stallholders. The Yellow Van is the only food rescue service in Canberra and for less than $1, a meal is rescued, transported and delivered to Care & Share and 80 other charities around Canberra, who ensure the most needy in our community are looked after. Each month, they rescue and deliver over 20 tonnes of good food, providing over 60,000 meals to disadvantaged people in the community – an equivalent of 2,000 meals a day. The Yellow Van receives no government funding and relies heavily on community support through donations. A lot of planning goes into our Waste Management. We would like to thank SITA, our waste provider and proud sponsor of the Scrumpy. SITA ensure that all waste arrives at the correct depot once it leaves the festival. Able Organics take our organic waste and use the resulting worm castings on an organic fruit and veg farm in the Canberra Region. Rod and his
team are organic trailblazers and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts. Their willingness to risk ending up with plastic between the rows of cucumbers puts them ahead of their peers! And last but definitely not least, David Pinson, our Volunteer Waste Coordinator and his team of super human trash faeries are invaluable. We can’t thank them enough for their energy, commitment, knowledge, positive attitude (which you need when dragging around garbage bins) and enthusiasm! The Festival and the universe thank you for your continued support in responsible recycling. Keep up the good work.
