FAQ
What type of support do you offer before, during, and after the event?
After your discovery call, we’ll work with you to establish your event’s sustainability and waste reduction goals and explore how waste reduction can support your event. We’ll also discuss the event logistics to ensure our stations are placed effectively and that the waste streams produced by vendors are properly managed (e.g., compost, recycling, landfill).
Following this call, we’ll provide a customized quote based on the size and requirements of your event, as well as the staffing and resources needed to meet your goals. We’ll continue collaborating with your team to identify further opportunities for minimizing waste, selecting the most sustainable, recyclable, and compostable materials, and ensuring your event aligns with its environmental objectives. Our service is not just about waste management – we offer consultative support to guide you in making strategic choices to meet your sustainability goals.
How much does your service cost?
Pricing varies depending on the size, scale, and specific needs of your event. We understand that each event has different budget considerations, and we will work with you to create a service package that fits your goals and budget. After an initial consultation, we will provide a customized quote based on your event’s requirements.
What is the cancellation policy?
