DC State Fair Advances Waste Reduction Initiatives

Since 2018, the DC State Fair has made a concerted effort to reduce waste generated at its annual September event. From introducing composting, to encouraging vendors to use compostable food service ware, to training and overseeing volunteers to staff on-site “zero waste stations,” the DC State Fair is working towards being zero waste in all operations while also educating community members on actions they can take to reduce waste.
