Look for recycling, composting and garbage bins at the Evergreen State Fair later this month. The wooden corrals, when used during the fair and other fairground events, will help reduce garbage going to the landfill and could reduce the fairground’s operating costs by as much as $10,000 a year. Staffers will be on hand to help fair goers sort their waste into appropriate compost, recycling and garbage bins. About 240 tons of fairgrounds waste now ends up in landfills each year. The “zero waste” initiative is part of a three-year effort with a goal of keeping 100 percent of the waste generated at the fairgrounds out of landfills.
