Waste Wise Events

Orange County has a responsibility to lead by example when it comes to reducing waste, reusing materials, and recycling at work. Each year, the County hosts hundreds of meetings and events that often include food. To support Orange County’s commitment to sustainability, the County Manager requires all events serving food to be conducted in a ‘Waste Wise’ manner. Being Waste Wise means that your meeting or event produces as little waste as possible.

County employees can visit the Waste Wise Intranet page to find the mandatory Waste Wise Policy Form and helpful resources for planning a Waste Wise event.
