What You Need To Know
State law and CSWD’s Solid Waste Management CSWD Ordinance require that Blue-Bin Recycling and food scraps must not be put in the trash. All lonely trash containers must also be paired with a recycling container buddy, and event venues must include language in their reservation forms to notify event organizers about CSWD’s requirements and resources.
Let us help you navigate these requirements by not only ensuring your legal compliance, but also providing:
- Signs and labels
- Staff/volunteer training
- Waste Warriors volunteers
- And more!

From intimate backyard weddings to your neighborhood block parties, your Community Outreach Coordinator brings the waste-reduction mojo your gathering needs.
