The City of Los Angeles Provides Free Recycling Services for Your Big Event

Help the City of Los Angeles reach its goal of reducing waste by 70% by the year 2015. In support of this, the City of Los Angeles Special Events Recycling Program provides free recycling services for special events held throughout Los Angeles. Bins will be provided at events to recycle beverage containers (glass, plastic or aluminum) and/or cardboard. Special events can include dedications, workdays, or festivals.

Contact the Special Events Recycling Program at (213) 922-8301 to coordinate free recycling services at your next special event. Have the following information ready:

• Name, date, time and estimated number of attendees.
• Information for the crews and their trucks.
• On-site contact information for the day of the event.
• City Council District.

The program provides uniformed staff and colorful, clearly labeled yellow or blue recycling bins at the events free of charge. The staff will set up the bins with plastic liners, monitor and change the bins throughout the events and pick up bins and recyclables at the end of the event. The program does not provide trash removal containers or services.
