SFCC's Urban Green Team

San Francisco Conservation Corps’ Urban Green Team has
coordinated and managed event recycling for more than
fifteen years. They offer efficient, customer-friendly services to
ensure that your event leaves the smallest footprint possible.

Zero waste = the best choice

San Francisco Conservation Corps’ (SFCC) Urban Green Team develops a
plan for your event, which includes recycling and compostable services,
consults on waste diversion plans, monitors and provides bins, educates
attendees, and takes all the recyclables and compostables away, all for
one very low price. On average, Corpsmembers will divert anywhere from
thousands of pounds to 10 tons of waste. In the past year, SFCC’s Urban
Green Team has diverted high volumes of waste at dozens of events.
Examples include:

• Green Festival, Concourse Exhibition Center (97% Diversion)
  
• Slow Food Nation, Civic Center (95% Diversion)
  
• Oyster Festival, Great Meadows (92% Diversion)
  

When you retain SFCC for your next event, they provide the bins, manage the recycling throughout your event and haul away the recyclables and compostables. They can handle any type of event—concerts, festivals, street fairs, and business events—and any size event, from a few hundred to thousands. And using SFCC’s Urban Green Team not only shows customers and the public that you care about being green, SFCC can also save you money. SFCC’s trained Corpsmembers and staff help control discards so you stick to your plan—and your budget.
