SECTION ONE - PRE-EVENT PLANNING<br />
It is never too early to start the planning process for preventing and<br />
recycling waste for your event. Start by reviewing wh<strong>at</strong> m<strong>at</strong>erials can be<br />
collected for recycling in your community, consider barriers to recycling,<br />
and evalu<strong>at</strong>e opportunities to prevent waste. Review previous recycling<br />
and waste prevention efforts, if applicable.<br />
ESTABLISH GOALS<br />
Cre<strong>at</strong>e a recycling and waste prevention event plan, including:<br />
• Task list with due d<strong>at</strong>es.<br />
• Maps with receptacle sites and signage loc<strong>at</strong>ions. (See Section 2 for details.)<br />
• Event coordin<strong>at</strong>or and contact inform<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />
• Volunteer/employee tasks and shifts.<br />
Think about waste prevention<br />
Waste prevention involves thinking about wh<strong>at</strong> actions will gener<strong>at</strong>e the least amount of waste. Elimin<strong>at</strong>ing<br />
a waste m<strong>at</strong>erial means you don’t have to collect or recycle it. For example, doing away with the “box” in<br />
boxed lunches transl<strong>at</strong>es to less garbage. Waste prevention planning can result in significant financial<br />
savings and environmental benefits.<br />
