Special Event Waste Management

Required Services for Special Events

Service Options for Special Events

Garbage and recycle services are required at all events.

If food will be present at the event, either sold by vendors, provided for free, or brought in by attendees, organics services will be required.

As part of the waste plan, event organizers will need to indicate which service options they will be using for each waste stream, as well as provide proof of the service.

Waste Streams	Service Options & Proof	Description
Garbage, Recycle, Organics	Private Franchise Hauler service Proof: A signed service agreement/proof of arranged service with a commercial ranchised waste hauler	The most common option for event producers. Work with one of the franchised haulers that provide event services. The halers can provide dupsters as well as smaller containers to place within the event space.
Garbage	City Parks Service Proof: Confirmation email or invoice from YPCE for additional trash service	For smaller events, less than 1,000, the Youth, Parks & Community Enrichment Department may provide additional trash service. The event must be at a City park. There is a fee and the service must be arranged in advance. It is at YPCE's discretion if they wish to offer the additional service.
Recycle	Third-Party/Self-haul Proof: Confirmation email, contract, or invoice from Third-party. If self-haul, email that include name and location of the recycling center that will be used for redemption.	Some organizations may collect and sort recycling for the CRV rebate benefit. For events of 2000+, using an alternative service or self-hauling of recyclilng may require the organizers to track the weight of all the recycling they handle. Self-haul to a residence is never allowed.
Garbage, Recycle, Organics	Back-haul Proof: Address of business and contact. The Waste Plan form has a specific question related to Back-haul and information needed	Back-hauling of garbage, recycling, or organics will only be allowed under controlled circumstances. Examples would include an event where a business that is producing the event is also located at the site, such as an Oktoberfest or St.Patrick's Day event at a resaurant, and the adjoining street is closed. Back-haul to a residence is never allowed

Service Providers

Haulers

The City has posted a list of Private Franchise Waste Haulers authorized to provide waste hauling services.

Third-Party

The City does not register or regulate Third-Party recyclers. The Sacramento Regional Conservation Corps is one entity that provides some recycling services.

Food Vendors and Trucks

On-site food vendors are responsible for maintaining a debris-free area around their food vending site; providing their customers with appropriate receptables to separate their solid waste, recyclables, and organic waste; and pick-up any debris in their surrounding area prior to departing.

Food trucks are required to provide their own receptacles for garbage, recycling, and organics next to their trucks for customers to use.

Although food vendors are required to have recycling and organic receptacles at their vending site, event organizers are still responsible for providing organic and recycling containers for the event as a whole.
