We'll strive to produce only biodegradable waste as well as making sure that at least 80% of that waste is recycled. We've worked with ribbers, food vendors, logistics and support services to ensure that they provide the greenest environment possible. Special thanks go to the Rotary Club of Burlington Lakeshore for sharing its best practices. A tip of the hat to First Ontario Credit Union ­ our official Volunteer Sponsor for making sure that Recycling Volunteers are identified by their bright green shirts. Our volunteers are dedicating themselves to leaving the Ribfest site even cleaner than we found it. Our recycling process is based on the Region of Halton's waste management practices and includes the familiar green and blue bins. Enjoy your ribs and take care of the environment. It is simple. Take your waste to a recycling area, thank a volunteer and do your part to help make this the Greenest Oakville event ever. Want to volunteer?
