EVENT RECYCLING
Event Recycling is a program and initiative under Piney Woods Conservation Group.
YOUR EVENT CAN MAKE
AN IMPACT, WITHOUT LEAVING ONE BEHIND.
Festivals, concerts, community gatherings, races and special events can generate a lot of waste in just a few hours. Piney Woods Conservation Group and Pinebelt Blueways work with local event organizers to make recycling simple, visible and measurable.
Our Event Recycling Program provides recycling stations, custom signage and volunteer support to help guests properly separate recyclable materials throughout your event. Afterward, we sort and tally what was collected so we can show exactly how much material your event diverted from the landfill.
Want recycling at your next event? Let’s make it happen.
HOW IT WORKS
1
PLAN
Reach out with your event details, estimated attendance and location. We’ll work with you to determine what recycling support makes sense for your event.
2
SET UP
We provide recycling bins and custom signage designed specifically for your event to make recycling easy for attendees to understand and use.
3
RECYCLE
Our volunteers can help
monitor recycling stations, educate attendees and
keep materials properly
sorted throughout
the event.
4
THE IMPACT
After the event, we sort
and tally the recyclables collected and provide the results so you know just how much your event helped divert from the landfill.
You may have already seen our
recycling stations around Hattiesburg!
We’ve provided event recycling at community favorites including Live at Five, Hattiesburg Craft Beer Festival, Downtown Crawfish Jam and more.
Each event gives us another opportunity to keep recyclable materials out of the landfill while making recycling a normal, visible part of gathering together as a community.
And we’d love to add your event to the list!

WHY EVENT
RECYCLING MATTERS
One event can create a lot of waste.
It can also divert a lot of it.
A bottle or can tossed into a trash bin disappears from sight, but it doesn’t disappear. By making recycling accessible and easy at community events, we can divert valuable materials from the landfill, educate thousands of people in the process and build habits that continue long after the event is over.
And there’s something especially powerful about being able to say:
pounds of recyclable material have
been kept out of the landfill.
