Morro Bay Music Festival

Kylie, Rory, and Jeremy took the 4 waste stations out to the Morro Bay Music Festival this morning, painted on some last minute signage, and set up 3 of the stations. It was raining the whole day but the waste stations held up great, even to the occasional gusty winds!

The Zero Waste Team learned a lot from the test run of the waste stations. We decided that simplicity is the best way to go, and that easy setup and take down is a must. Already in this first generation, we decided to not use the footings or incorporate handles into the boards.

In the second generation, we will also get rid of the arrow signs, holders, and cutouts for manufacturing simplicity. These will be replaced by painted boxes and arrows on the boards themselves. Then, example items will be stapled onto the boards themselves and then removed at the end of the event.

Furthermore, next time we will have all of the posters in the previous blog post printed and laminated and placed on each station, along with the title of each section painted on the boards. A lot was learned and we are looking forward to the second generation of waste stations!
