The document provides guidance on implementing a zero waste strategy at special events. It recommends assigning a coordinator, identifying the types of waste generated, and setting up separate collection for recyclables, compostables, and trash. Signage and staffing of collection stations is important. Vendors should be required to use compostable or recyclable items and collect their own waste. Examples are given of large events that have successfully diverted over 90% of waste from landfills through these strategies.
