Happy Earth Day! Over the years, The Big Fresno Fair has taken enormous strides to not only build its clean and green practices as a facility but promote conservation to Fairgoers. Did you know that during the 12-days of the 2018 Big Fresno Fair, with the help of Mid Valley Disposal, we collected 40.56 tons of recyclable materials, 193.8 tons of organic waste and 603.54 tons of trash items? That’s a total diversion rate of 234.36 tons! 🤯 This is yet another way the Fair is promoting and educating the public on ways to reduce, reuse and recycle! We only live on one earth, so let’s all do our part to take care of it 🌎❤

National Ag Day is the perfect time to thank American farmers for all they provide for us. Without the hard work of our farmers, the rich Central Valley Ag wouldn’t be what it is today. Take the time today to thank a farmer for all their hard work! 👩🌾👨🌾
