Stay cool and stay hydrated by frequenting the water stations provided by Klean Kanteen. And when you do, be sure to use a reusable water bottle to cut down on unnecessary waste. You can bring your own, or you can stop by our Merch tent to pick up an official Newport Folk Klean Kanteen. |

Newport Folk takes reducing their footprint seriously. That’s why they require all vendors to use compostable cups and plates. Make sure you dispose of them properly, and enjoy the great food options the festival has to offer. |
|
Make sure your waste ends up the right bin. Brown bins are for compost, blue is for recycling and black goes to the landfill. Certain cups are compostable, not recyclable. Please read all signs carefully and check before you toss! If you have any questions, ask one of our Greener Folk volunteers on-site. |
|
Reduce litter at the source. The less you pack to bring in, the less trash you have to pick up. Be respectful to one another and remember to leave your area clean. |
