Blue Goes Green in 2013
 The Marshall County Blueberry Festival started its recycling efforts in 2008. Since then, we’ve diverted literally TONS of trash into recycling. In case you’re wondering, all Blueberry waste that isn’t recycled gets landfilled just a few miles away (literally)! Yuck!
In 2013 we continue to encourage all our Festival patrons, vendors, and volunteers to recycle your bottles and cans. We’ve placed recycling containers all over the park for your convenience. Before you toss that can or bottle, make sure you’ve located a recycling bin and throw your EMPTY container in there. Thanks!
All over the country, festivals large and small are "going green," taking steps to cut down on trash headed for the local landfill. We at Blueberry are doing our part to keep our event clean and green! In 2012 we recycled 6.8 tons, that’s a lot of plastic, cans and cardboard.
Thanks to all who recycled!

Thank you to Coca-Cola Bottling Company for awarding the Blueberry Festival a grant to purchase new recycling bins. With these additional bins, we will be able to provide more opportunities for Festival goers to recycle and keep even more recyclables out of our area landfill!
