Raise a Glass... Then Recycle It!

Our Recycle Rewards campaign is back for another year!

Last year, together we recycled enough cans and bottles to raise $520 for the festival! Thank you

So every can, bottle and glass container you return helps:
Keep valuable materials out of landfill
Support the planet
Support the Cygnet Folk Festival

So... raise a glass to Cygnet... then recycle it!
