Sustainability
Sustainability Mission: We are committed to producing a sustainable, zero waste event. We work to minimize waste and educate our vendors and customers in our sustainability efforts. We provide a free, open “zone” of our Street Fair to educate the public regarding local sustainability efforts.
Visit the Sustainability Zone
Join GPHC and our partners in the Sustainability Zone where we will have free giveaways, local sustainability partners talking about how you can reduce your ecological footprint, and sustainability demonstrations. Bring your kiddos and come have a great time for a great cause!
FREE Electronics Recycling
GPHC is partnering with PCs for People to provide FREE electronics recycling during this event! Drop-off will be located at 2823 Fairfax Street. They will accept nearly anything computer-related for free. Bring your obsolete and broken electronics that are taking up space in your home and keep them out of the landfill!
Drinking Water
No single-use plastic here! The Denver Water Truck will be at 19th and Forest so be sure to bring your reusable water bottle.
Waste Diversion
Each year we strive to reduce the amount of waste that is produced by this event and divert disposable materials from landfill to recycling and compost.
Certifiably Green Denver
GPHC and the Park Hill Home Tour & Street Fair participate in Certifiably Green Denver (CGD) which implements green business and event certification processes to increase participation and adoption of sustainable practices, improve energy efficiency and water conservation, and decrease the use of resources and generation of waste.
Sustainable Neighborhoods Program
Greater Park Hill Community participates in Denver’s Sustainable Neighborhoods Program giving residents the opportunity to become active partners in making Denver a vibrant and sustainable community. Neighborhoods participating in this unique certification program organize workshops, projects, and events that enhance the livability of their neighborhood and reduce residents’ ecological footprint. The sustainability effort for the Park Hill Home Tour & Street Fair is part of our work towards achieving sustainable neighborhood status.
