Near-Zero-Waste Event Planning and Implementation
Festivals and Events are a fun time for the whole community, but they can also produce a tremendous amount of waste. There is a better alternative: Near-Zero-Waste Events!
For smaller events with less than 300 people, please click below!
What is a Near-Zero Waste Event?
Compost Crusader, LLC can help provide insights/consulting services for managing the waste produced while hosting festivals and events. While fun, these events can produce a lot of waste. We will help your community group or organization successfully plan and execute a low or zero waste event.
Whether it is a block party, wedding, or fundraising event, we are here to work with any indoor or outdoor venue in planning and implementing your recycling efforts. It doesn’t matter if this is your first time including diversion goals into your event or if you are a pro. Compost Crusader can create a customized plan that works best for you and your budget.
Composting Service for Events
We provide everything you need to make your event compost-friendly—from bins and signage to products. Additional carts are available upon request.
Please note: We need at least two weeks' notice before your event in order to prepare and deliver everything you need for your event.
Drop-off and Pick-up: We’ll deliver the compost carts before your event and collect them afterward, making the process hassle-free.
Accepted Materials: We accept all food scraps and compostable products that we sell, ensuring a smooth and sustainable waste management experience. Learn more about what can/cannot be composted.
Contamination-Free: Our team will carefully remove any non-compostable items before they reach the compost site, so you don’t have to monitor the bins.
Let us take care of the details so you can focus on your event!
Before the Event
Before the event, we’ll set goals to reduce waste and come up with a plan to keep as much out of the landfill as possible. We’ll make sure to place the right bins in the right spots, train the staff, and offer help when needed to make it all run smoothly.
During the Event
During the event, we’ll be there to replace full bags and bins, and help the public with disposing of their waste the right way.
After the Event
We will provide collection and disposal of all organic waste and assist in event cleanup.

What our customers are saying
"Composting is an important tool we use to educate all of our event guests. From birthday parties to Boy Scout & Girl Scout overnights, each group learns about what we do with their food/meal waste."
