The war on waste continues Last year an impressive 90 per cent of rubbish from the Queenscliff Music Festival was diverted from landfill. This year organisers are keen to do even better! On top of waste separation streams - sorting out recyclables from food scraps and general rubbish - re-usable crockery will be rolled out across all food vendors. Most food and hot drinks to be served up on re-usable plates, bowls, cups and cutlery. The system will be backed up by a team of \"Bin Fairies\" who will whisk used items away to a commercial dishwashing facility. Last year’s efforts resulted in 23,000 single use plastic cups being diverted from landfill, 38 per cent of organics being turned into compost and plastic waste being recycled into picnic tables and benches. The Festival has also partnered with Feed Me Bellarine, a local community food project, to ensure spare food and excess produce is distributed to locals in need. The Rip November 19 Page 35
