Recycling at Large Events

California State Law (AB 2176) requires convenient recycling at large venues—and we can help. If your event will attract 2,000 or more attendees a day, or if you are charging admission, you must provide recycling containers. Here’s how to plan for it.

• Call RecycleSmart at (925) 906-1801 x109 for event waste management planning.
• Call Republic Services at (925) 685-4711 for planning, donation services (must be in writing and submitted 30 days prior to event), dumpsters, carts, collection services and ClearStream waste stations.
  •  Materials Management Plan (Submit at least 3 weeks prior to your event)
  •  Sample ClearStream Waste Station Signage

​Call Heather Farm Park (Walnut Creek) at (925) 943-5800 for ClearStream recycling containers and bags.

Event attendees, here’s what you can do

• Bring a reusable bag. A lot of the fun at an event is walking around to all the booths to look at and purchase unique and handcrafted items.
• Bring a reusable water bottle.
• Look for waste stations to recycle.
• Find the information booth to make comments about the recycling efforts at the event.
• Don’t purchase food or drink provided in a polystyrene foam container or cup.
