Imagine you went to a food festival and there was no one to pick up the trash. That's where we come in. Event cleaning should be one of the first, but is usually the last, thing on event producers' minds. Each year festivals generate over 23,500 tons of waste, over two-thirds of which winds up in landfills. As a society, we are on a collision course with Mother Nature and each of us has a responsibility to contribute to a better outcome. Come hear us wax poetic on this unsexy topic and share ninja tactics on how you can minimize your event footprint and gain a greater understanding of the logistics necessary to create a sparkling venue.
