In order to  practice  treading lightly on our planet, and to reduce the workload for our volunteers, we ask that all personal garbage and recyclables are the responsibility of the festival goer to carry out after the festival is over.

​

How do I minimize the garbage I produce?

​

• Plan, plan, plan:  For each item that you bring  to the Harvest Moon Festival site, plan on how you're going to get it back home,  Throwing it in the garbage at the site is not an option.

• Reduce:  Reduce the amount of packaging, materials and food that you bring to the site as much as possible.

• Re-usable:  Use reusable containers such as Water Bottles, Tupperware or Mason jars as much as possible.  Water will be available for refilling your water bottles. Hose water will be able for anyone who wishes to rinse dishes/containers.

• BRING YOUR OWN PLATE,BOWL and CUTLERY.  "BYOPBC Travel Bags" will be available for purchase, in case you forget.

• Recycle:  Check outrules for recyclable material posted by your township.
