Waste Stations at King Township Events:
Help King continue it’s mission towards reaching our sustainability goals! If you’re attending a King event make sure to bring your waste to a Waste Station!
At our events, we go beyond just managing waste; we actively measure and improve it. Our team conducts comprehensive waste audits to assess the types and quantities of materials discarded during and after events. This process helps us identify opportunities to reduce waste, increase recycling and composting rates, and minimize environmental impact.
By sorting and analyzing waste streams, we gather valuable data that informs smarter, more sustainable event planning. Whether it's a small community gathering or a large-scale festival, our audits provide transparency and accountability, helping event organizers meet their sustainability goals and engage attendees in responsible waste practices.
The Process:
Our environmental team sets up a “waste station” at a high traffic location within the event. We encourage all event participants to bring ALL of their waste directly to us, we do this by eliminating all other waste bins from the area.
We have volunteers or staff hand sorting (and if needed washing) all of the waste so that it goes into the correct waste bins. This eliminates contamination between waste streams and allows the team to accurately audit and track the events waste!
