6.1.9 Special Events Recycling Program / Clearstream Rental
AB 2176, the large venues and large events recycling law, requires large venue facilities and large events in
each city and county to plan for solid waste reduction and upon request, report information regarding their
waste reduction efforts to their local jurisdiction. The City has begun the steps to turn regular events into zero
waste events (4 th of July Celebration and the Environmental Service Recognition Awards being some
examples.) The City also offers free downloadable posters for diverting waste at events on DavisRecycling.org,
along with a webpage about holding zero waste events and a webpage about the Clearstream Recycler rental
program. The table below shows the increased diversion rates achieved at the 4 th of July Celebration.
