What should I do with the recyclable waste after the event?

The renter is responsible for properly disposing of the recyclable material they collect. For small events, we recommend depositing the recyclables in your at-home collection bin or finding a recycling drop-off location near you. For large events, we recommend renting a roll-off recycling dumpster from your local waste hauler (Ray’s Trash, Republic Services, etc.). Please refer to the published list of accepted items for the recycling service or drop-off location you choose, and only deposit accepted items.

Interested in renting compost bins?

Compost bin rentals are considered on a case-by-case basis. To prevent contamination, compost bin rentals are required to include either on-site staffing assistance or pre-event volunteer training. We also have approved compostable serviceware that we can provide for free (depending on the size of the event). Contact us to discuss compost bin rental and available free supplies.
