Planning Green Events
When preparing for a special event, The Department of Environmental Quailty encourages planning committees to incorporate means of waste prevention and reduction, recycling, and composting. Events are known to be one of the largest producers of waste in the U.S. However, most materials discarded at events are not waste. With proper planning and collection, most materials can be recycled or composted and diverted from landfill. There are many ways to incorporate these green practices at large or small events.
Follow these useful tips and guidelines that will help make a difference.
