Sustainable Westport Launches Zero Waste Stations at Community Events
Partnering with the Town of Westport, Sustainable Westport developed mobile “Zero Waste Stations” to help reduce waste at popular community events.
Our Zero Waste Stations, manned by Sustainable Westport volunteers, helped advise and educate event attendees about their waste choices: COMPOST, RECYCLE, or INCINERATE (Trash).
This fall, the Zero Waste Station visited Slice of Saugatuck, Westport Rotary’s Lobsterfest, Earthplace’s Woodside Bash and Fall Festival. At Lobsterfest alone, we successfully diverted 2,320 lbs of food waste!
Stop by and “talk trash” with us next time you’re out and about in town! If you are interested in volunteering with Sustainable Westport, click here to complete the volunteer form.
