Waste and Recycling Hauling Service
Check with your event venue first to see if they offer recycling and organics collection service. If recycling and organics collection is not provided by the event site, coordinators can either hire a hauler or self-haul recyclables to a drop-off site. Depending on what is being collected, it may be economical to do a combination of both.
When hiring a waste hauler, ask the following:
• What materials will the hauler collect?
• What will the services cost?
• Will the hauler donate any portion of the service?
• What is the hauler’s experience with event recycling?
• Can the hauler provide the collection containers?
• Will the hauler provide signage and container labeling?
• Where will the organics be taken for composting?
• Will recyclables be collected together or do they need to be separated?
• Is the hauler able to measure and report garbage and recycling data?
Collection services
Finding a hauler to take all of the materials generated at an event (garbage, recyclables and organics) is the most convenient method for waste removal.
• Contact companies offering recycling pick-up services to see if they offer recycling pick-up for events.
• Check with the city recycling coordinator or haulers who offer services in the city where your event is being held.
• Contact us for information on waste haulers who pick up organics for composting.
Drop-off locations
Self-hauling some materials to a drop-off site for processing can be an economical way to manage event waste.
