Events are increasingly “going green”. Participants are starting to expect event planners to offer recycling and other green elements that help reduce our ecological footprints. Knox County, The City of Knoxville Solid Waste Offices, and several other local organizations can help you.
For more information contact the Knox County Solid Waste Office.
Things the Recycling Coordinator will need to know:
- How much planning time do you have?
- How big is the event?
- How much waste will be generated?
- What type of waste will your event generate (food, packaging, beverages, etc)?
- Who will take the waste away?
- Can you control waste at your event (vendor/exhibitor requirements, open to public, enclosed perimeter/fencing)?
- Do you have volunteers to recycle and watch the waste?
