Vendors must keep their space clean and attractive during market hours as well as cleaning up their space after the market closes. Including but not limited to: sweeping up debris from your booth and removing trash.
Vendors using disposable paper products are to bring a sufficent garbage can. All vendors should bring a broom and dust pan. Flower and Farm vendors will be asked to put a tarp down in their work area to prevent grinding of flower or floral material into the concrete.
ALL vendors are required to haul out their own trash. The market trash & recycle bins are for customer use only. We want to keep our community clean for everyone! A FINE of $20 will be assessed to vendors who do not adhere to these guidelines.
