Special events may be held at venues
specifically designed to host such events (stadiums,
fairgrounds, convention centers) or at venues designed for
other uses (public streets and parks). While not every
community has a permanent event venue, most communities host
numerous special events over the course of a year. These
events pose a challenge to recyclers because the waste
stream often contains large amounts of single-use products
and food discards. Multiple vendors often serve
participants. If obstacles to recycling can be overcome,
benefits can accrue to both communities and event
organizers.
