Event Waste Diversion and Eco-Education

On-site greening Implementation:

  • EcoStations: clear, effective set up for compost and recycling maximization, trash minimization
  • Management of materials: ordering/providing, placement, hauling, dumpster labeling, pick up
  • Water systems on-site: filtration units and dispensers toward reuse, away from plastic water bottles
  • Green team management - very experienced crew along with volunteer support and training
  • Education around what really is recyclable, avoiding that which is not, always moving toward reduce/reuse
  • Clear Streams for compost, recycling, landfill, aesthetically attractive containers that let attendees SEE what goes where. For small to medium events, no need to rent containers from hauler.
  • Self-hauling of compost saves dumpster rental at small events; gets organic waste to the correct facility.
  • Shared resources whenever possible = cost savings and capacity expansion
  • Pre-event meetings for green brainstorming, learn where we can begin, how we can move forward.
  • Movement away from plastics whenever possible - why, what and how
  • Composting of all organic waste, food vendor greening and biodegradable wares conversion
  • Used vendor oil hauled for re-use as veggie oil
  • Tree-free paper, recycled content, bioplastics — aiming for highest choices
