Assistance and Resources for Event Managers

Special event permit applications must include a recycling plan. 

SF Environment can help event managers:

• Free consultations to reduce refuse costs

• Creating a waste diversion plan to minimize unnecessary refuse costs

• Optimization of bin and signage setups 

• Guidance through the process with a Zero Waste Event Checklist

Events must subscribe to sufficient recycle, compost, and landfill service from Recology. Recology also offers cardboard recycle/compost/landfill containers with pre-printed labels to facilitate the event's zero waste program.
