Event Recycling

Recycling is required at all events. Recycle right at your next festival, party or event.​

Recycling at household parties

From graduation parties to barbeques, make sure to provide recycling containers for your guests to recycle these materials.

• Make recycling easy: Put a recycling container next to each trash container. Use any kind of container to collect recycling or borrow one for free
  
• Label your containers: Labels help your guests know what to recycle. Print and attach container labels to your recycling and trash containers.
  
• Event Container Signs (8.5" x 11")
  
• ​Recycle what you collect: Use the recycling service provided by your waste hauler or transport your recyclables to The Recycling Zone. 
  

Recycling at community events and festivals

Event centers and community events such as festivals, sporting tournaments and concerts are required to follow event recycling requirements. 

Most cities have additional event recycling requirements. Contact your city for more information. ​
