Independence Day Sustainability

Tips for a more sustainable Independence Day Celebration

The City of Dublin is committed to becoming the most sustainable global city of choice. Help the community achieve this goal by making your Independence Day celebration more eco-friendly with these simple and effective tips.

Transportation

Skip the traffic! Take advantage of Dublin’s 150+ miles of shared-use paths, perfect for walking, biking or scootering with Veo e-scooters and e-bikes. Carpooling is another great way to reduce emissions. Bike parking for the Evening Celebration is conveniently located in front of Coffman High School.

Avoid Single-Use Products

Swap your single-use products for reusable party supplies. Rather than using plastic cutlery and plates, consider reusable dishes from home. If reusable isn’t an option, take advantage of the Hefty ReNew program to dispose of these hard-to-recycle items. To learn more about where to purchase Hefty ReNew bags and accepted items, visit hefty.com/hefty-renew.

Bring Your Refillable Water Bottle

Stay hydrated and reduce single-use plastic waste! Guests with a stadium or reserved table gate wristband can use the City’s free, clean and safe water refill station, located under the bleachers on the northwest side of the stadium.

Recycle Right

Help keep recyclables out of the landfill. Recycling and trash bins are placed throughout the Coffman High School grounds and stadium. Use the blue bins for recyclables only. If you’re hosting at home, set up a clearly marked bin at a convenient location with a printout of acceptable materials.

Save More Than Food

Plan your meals to avoid spending more and having excessive leftovers. Use SWACO’s Guest-Imator tool to calculate how much food is needed. Offer reusable to-go containers for guests or compost any leftovers at the City of Dublin’s free and convenient compost drop-off location

The More You Know

All waste collected at the Evening Celebration is sorted by Zero Waste Event Productions. In 2024, approximately 913 pounds of material were diverted from the landfill, nearly double what was recovered in 2023. Thank you for helping reach the City’s sustainability goals!

Why JustFOIA?

Integrity, Respect, Communication, Teamwork, Accountability, Positive Attitude & Dedication to Service.

The City of Dublin operates under a set of seven key core values: integrity, respect, communication, teamwork, accountability, positive attitude and dedication to service. Staff members use these seven values as the basis for daily decision-making, including the decisions that go into the budget process.

  • Integrity. We are open and honest. We honor our commitments to the community and each other. Our actions are consistent with what we say.
  • Respect. We treat our coworkers and members of the community with courtesy and dignity. We embrace diversity and acknowledge the needs, responsibilities and inherent worth of each individual.
  • Communication. We maintain an environment in which employees feel free to share ideas and information. We promote open interaction throughout the organization to ensure knowledge and understanding among all employees and our community.
  • Teamwork. We create a climate in which all employees work together and support the individual talents and contributions of team members. We celebrate successes and see mistakes as opportunities for growth; we will never willingly let a member of our team fail.
  • Accountability. We are responsible to our community and each other for our personal and organizational decisions, actions and performance results. We are committed stewards of our City’s assets and resources.
  • Positive Attitude. We focus our efforts on constructive behavior, attitudes and solutions. We promote an environment that people love going to every day – a place where each individual can find a sense of belonging, inspiration, enjoyment and meaning.
  • Dedication to Service. We pursue innovation and continuous improvement in all we do. We are committed to efficient, effective and responsive service delivery that makes a difference in the lives of those we serve.

Leadership Philosophy

We are members of an organization that succeeds because of teamwork, dedication, diversity and the innovative spirit of all of   our members.

We hold ourselves mutually accountable to promote and sustain continuous learning and to develop the learning potential that exists in every member of our team.
