Event Waste Info
Thanks for your interest in what we're up to!
We're at this event to divert as much of its waste away from landfill as possible, and what you're holding probably isn't garbage! Over dozens of events, we've found only approximately 2% of event waste is actually garbage (in other words, we divert 98% of event waste away from landfill on average).
​
You can help us to collect as inclusive data as possible by using the event waste bins provided, instead of the regular public bins.

Who's we?
The Sustainable Fox! We are a queer led consultation service specializing in intersectional waste reduction and event logistics.
​
Our mission is to divert materials from landfill while making waste reduction fun and accessible, destigmatize interacting with our waste, and radicalize how waste management is approached as a community.
​
We are managing, sorting, and tracking all solid waste produced by today's event.
