All vendors MUST maintain their space in a clean and sanitary condition and remove all waste before leaving the Festival. Cartons, boxes, etc. will not be allowed to pile up during the Festival. Food vendors MUST have a separate container for any food trimmings. No grease, cooking oils or leftover food will be dumped in the trashcans or on the grounds AT ALL. Please make plans to carry these items out with you. Food vendors MUST have a protective barrier or receptacle under working areas to catch any grease/oils spills. Violation of this is a direct breech of this agreement.
