SUSTAINABILITY

The Hopewell Harvest Fair is on a journey toward being a more sustainable, litter-free event. Our initiatives include:

​

• A water station will be centrally located so attendees can refill their durable water bottles (or use cups available at the Information Tent).

• TerraCycle Zero Waste Boxes to collect non-organic waste including plastic utensils, plastic coffee cup lids, and plastic containers & bags.

• Compost bins provided by OneCompostCan of Hopewell, monitored by volunteers instructed to divert any possible contamination.

• Exhibitors and vendors are not permitted to give away balloons or other non-recycled plastic items.

  • Food vendors are not permitted use plastic "souvenir" serving ware or sell single serve bottled water.

  • Town Square participants are encouraged to offer experiences rather than trinkets; any promotional freebies/prizes should be useful and reusable, made of sustainable, recycled or recovered materials, and ideally made in USA.
