What is a zero waste event?

A zero-waste event is designed to divert as much waste as possible away from landfills through recycling, composting, and reuse. The goal is typically to divert at least 90% of waste at an event. This is achieved through planning and coordination with Walking Mountains event staff and vendors before the event. Trained staff and volunteers provide education and outreach at zero-waste events and sort all of the waste at the end to ensure successful diversion. Interested in making your event zero-waste?
