Event Planning

Events big or small can be Zero Waste

The qathet Regional District has created resources to help that happen.

• Zero Waste Sorting Stations (for Refundables, Recycling and Composting).
  • Sign out Zero Waste Stations.
• Zero Waste Dish Supply & portable dishwashing trailer! (we have 300 plates, mugs, forks and spoons and ~175 bowls, spoons and knives available to borrow for events).  More details here.
  • Contact LetsTalkTrashTeam@gmail.com or 604 485 2260 (ext 308) to arrange borrowing.
• Zero Waste Guide for Event Coordinators  This comprehensive guide offers many tips and considerations for events of any size.  The qathet Regional District has some resources available for free to help support your event in reducing as much waste as possible.

Additional resources to guide your event towards Zero Waste:
