ZERO WASTE and SUSTAINABILITY
Awesome events, done right — that’s the goal! Every year, we divert more than 90% of the Beer Camp waste away from landfill, and it’s a comprehensive effort:
- Serving our beverages in recyclable vessels such as aluminum cans or reusable tasting glasses. Recycling stations are available throughout the event.
- Partnering with Chico Velo to provide Bike Valet services for avid cyclists or those using alternative forms of transportation.
- Highly encouraging attendees and staff to bring a reusable water bottle from home and providing access to water throughout the event space.
- Requiring all food vendors to use compostable service materials.
- This year, help us make Beer Camp a Zero-Waste Event!
- Ride your bike (or scooter, or unicycle) to the festival. We’ll protect it overnight if you need to leave it.
- Crush those cans! Once you’ve finished a beverage, drop it at one of our recycling stations.
- Bring your reusable water bottle and refill it at one of our many “Water Monster” stations.
- Stay tuned for more tips…
