Recycling at Events

The new edition of this guide to recycling at events large and small was made possible with our collaborating partners, Metro and Portland's Office of Sustainable Development. Topics covered include establishing goals; dealing with food, vendors, and volunteers; site logistics; set-up; publicity and, of course, recycling. The guide also contains an updated and expanded list of resources for event planners. Download PDF version.

To order a print copy of the guide, please contact RA at info@recyclingadvocates.org or 503-777-0909 (free within Metro region; others pay $3 to cover printing and postage).
