The Facts About Event Organic Recycling

The Facts About Event Organic Recycling 

There is increasing pressure to reduce landfill use and close the incinerator in downtown Minneapolis. To do this, organic recycling needs to increase on a large scale.

THE PROBLEM: In organics recycling, the material a person puts in the collection containers goes right to the composting site. Therefore, if the person emptying the containers sees trash, it all goes as trash and the collection effort is wasted. 

Join us as we learn how to effectively collect organic waste at events.  A panel of government stakeholders are here to help answer questions and provide more direction on this process.
