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 your own home recycling service or drop-off your recyclables at the Recycling Zone.
