Be a Hero. Zero Waste Your Event

It's possible to conduct a sustainable Eagle Valley event with our help.

The Walking Mountains Sustainability 'Zero Waste' program is available to special events in the Eagle Valley on a contract service basis. Each event is unique and requires pre-planning and coordination with event staff and vendors to ensure success. Walking Mountains will provide expertise, coordination, trained staff and volunteers, communication materials for event organizers and vendors, and training to event staff to ensure each event is a sustainability success. 

Walking Mountains Sustainability Will:

  • Help to 'green' your events image by reducing waste heading to landfill reducing your event's carbon footprint. 
  • Educate and empower event participants to make changes toward better sustainability practices. 
  • Manage venue waste disposal operations and communicate with waste haulers. 
  • Oversee waste collection throughout the event. 
  • Report on waste totals and diversion numbers; when possible. 
  • Educate and advise vendors on compost and recycling options; including proper sorting techniques. 
  • Conduct outreach and education to event participants and event staff.
