This year’s Powderhorn Art Fair is starting a new waste management system focusing on zero waste.
There will be three strategically-placed waste stations positioned throughout the event. Each waste station includes a 10 x 10 tent, green flag marker, waste stations banners, and three types of waste receptacles (organic waste, recyclable waste and trash waste).
The three stations will be the only locations to discard waste for the two-day event – allowing trash to be funneled to these identifiable waste stations.
All park single trash and recycle waste cans/barrels will be removed from the park during the event.
Youth volunteers will be at each waste station assisting and educating art fair goers about the proper way to dispose of their waste. The Powderhorn Teen Teamworks Youth Crew will be assisting in collecting garbage that ends up on the park grounds and removing full trash receptacles from each waste station.
