Compostables and electrical bulb requirements for vendors:

 

ALL VENDORS: ELECTRIC LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS

Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs) or Light Emitting Diode (LED) bulbs are required in all light fixtures at FloydFest, including small Christmas-type lights. CFL and LED bulbs have revolutionized energy-efficient lighting with their high energy-efficiency, and will help vendors make FloydFest a greener festival.

 

CONCESSIONAIRE/FOOD VENDORS: COMPOSTABLES GUIDELINES

FloydFest has implemented a FULL composting program and requires all food service items to be compostable. Failure to comply with these guidelines (BELOW) may result in removal from the Festival. In an effort to continue our commitment to recycling and composting, and because we experienced contamination of our composting stream at FloydFest 2010, we ask that in 2011 all food vendors utilize one source for your environmentally friendly food service products.

Across-the-Way Productions has teamed up with Dade Paper to offer low pricing on compostable food service products. Our contact at Dade Paper is Sales Manager Billy Powell who can be reached at 980-721-6885. Billy has a full range of products, and he assures us that his pricing is the lowest you will find.

It is important that all food vending establishments use the same compostable food products for our composting efforts to work at FloydFest. Partnering with Dade Paper will save you money and make our composting efforts efficient and successful. If you have any questions please contact Linda DeVito at the Across-the-Way Productions offices at 888-823-3787, Ext. 2.

The following items are mandatory for all Concessionaires/Food vendors. Please minimize distribution of disposable and single-use items like straws, bags, utensils, ketchup packets, mini butter tubs, plastic wrap (use only if no alternative exists), and plastic lids.

REQUIRED FOOD SERVICE ITEMS:

  • Certified Compostable hot and cold cups (both paper and corn plastic cups).
  • Certified Compostable utensils.
  • Certified Compostable straws
  • Paper or other fiber-based plates, trays, bowls, clamshells, boats, containers.
  • Wax paper is acceptable, but not required.
PROHIBITED ITEMS:

  • Styrofoam
  • Plastic cups, straws, bowls of any size, tubs, utensils (petroleum-based).
  • Combos that are difficult to separate like wax paper-aluminum foil.
