A Zero Waste Event

We are striving to be a Zero Waste event! We'll do our best to reduce the amount of trash that goes to the landfills and focus on using sustainable products that can be composted, reused and recycled.

Leading the Way

We are the first event in Durango to attempt Zero Waste.  We will work each year to limit the amount of trash we send to the landfill and hopefully we will lead the way in our Durango community for more events to follow suit. ​
