RECYCLING

Festival Works To Be Environmentally Friendly

The Maine Lobster Festival is continuing its recycling efforts in its commitment to be a green-friendly festival.

For years, the Festival has recycled cans and bottles and donated the money collected from returnables to youth groups, such as the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. While many bottles and cans make it into recycle bins, many also end up in the trash.

This year on the Festival grounds, visitors again will notice recycling signs and containers for returnables. Visitors are asked to turn in bottles and cans for recycling and not place them in the trash.

New for this year, the Festival is eliminating straws and has water bottle filling stations located on the grounds.

Festival-goers are invited to help organizers in their efforts to be a greener festival. Share recycling ideas or suggestions with us by emailing info@mainelobsterfestival.com.
