2025 Festival Cleanup Reference

​

The photos shown below are examples from the 2025 Festival, where garbage bags, cardboard boxes, packaging materials, and other waste were left behind after the event.

These examples demonstrate why the Eco-Deposit policy is necessary. To prevent similar issues in 2026, all vendors are expected to complete proper booth cleanup before leaving the festival site.

Thank you for helping us keep the Kimchi & K-Food Festival clean, safe, and enjoyable for everyone.

Vendor Cleanup Responsibilities

​

Before leaving the festival site, each vendor must:

• Remove all garbage, food waste, packaging materials, cardboard boxes, decorations, and personal or business items from their booth area.

• Dispose of all waste and recyclable materials only in the designated disposal areas.

• Properly separate garbage, recycling, cardboard, and food waste.

• Ensure that no oil, sauce, liquid, ice water, or cooking-related waste is poured onto the ground, grass, drains, or public areas.

• Return any festival-rented equipment to the designated location.

• Leave the booth area and surrounding space clean and clear.

• Follow all cleanup instructions provided by the Festival organizer and site operations team
