Why not make your next special event waste-free? Our free Waste-Free Event Kits supply instructions, signage, recycling & organics bins, and bags in a kit tailored to your event.
Reserve a Waste-Free Event Kit at least a week in advance of your event (Please allow more time for larger events to ensure availability of materials). Pick up kit materials at WLSSD’s Administration Offices, set up bins and signage at your event, then return the kit, recycle your recyclables (curbside or at your nearest Rural Recycling Site) and drop off your compostables at a WLSSD Food Waste Drop Site.
A waste-free event demonstrates a commitment to keeping waste out of landfills by reusing, recycling, or composting all event materials. Events that generate non-reusable, non-recyclable, and non-compostable waste will not be eligible for a WLSSD Waste-Free Event Kit.

Everyone! From birthday parties to family reunions to sports team banquets to corporate meetings to weddings, no event is too small or too large to go waste-free. Individuals, businesses, and organizations of all types are encouraged to check out a kit.
Fill out the Waste-Free Event Kit Request Form or call (218) 722-3336 to let us know more about your event and reserve your kit.
Recycling services are required at local public events with 100 or more attendees; learn about local requirements and tips and tricks to make planning a breeze. Contact WLSSD well in advance of your event and our staff can provide guidance for successful event recycling.
