Taste of Glen Ellyn beverage tent to be plastic-free

The Taste of Glen Ellyn will be without plastic bottles or cups in the beverage tent for the first time in 2024, instead using aluminum to reduce plastic waste. The Glen Ellyn Chamber of Commerce has partnered with local nonprofit Go Green Glen Ellyn to use cans and cups that are 100% recyclable.

Go Green Glen Ellyn is also providing volunteers to collect aluminum cans and hiring a metal waste hauler to recycle them. Two Hound Brewery of Glen Ellyn will serve beer on tap and Go Green has donated aluminum party cups, which stay cool to the touch and are recyclable and reusable.
