Event Recycling

Event recycling can be fun

Congratulations for considering event recycling. The information presented on the following pages are intended to help you, event organisers, thinking about event recycling to reduce waste at their events. 

Event recycling directly reduces the cost of waste removal, as well as generating a positive event image.
