Special Events & Venue Recycling Workshop
AB2176 requires recycling at certain large venues and special events in California. Is your organization in compliance with this legislation? If not, are you even sure what you need to do? Join this half-day workshop on the campus of Cal State Long Beach to: learn which events and venues require recycling, how to obtain grant money for collection containers, how to development compliance plans, learn real world examples of what works (and what doesn't), and meet with vendors of recycling containers and biodegradable packaging.
Participating speakers include staff from the CIWMB, Department of Conservation, City of Pasadena, Del Mar Fairgrounds, Rosebowl, and CSULB.
