Event Recycling for Students

Providence College is host to many events, from small office parties, to student concerts, to graduation.  It is important to keep in mind recycling when you are planning an event.

If you are planning an event, keep in mind the following:

• The date and time of your event
• How many tables and chairs you will need, and
• If you need trash containers, include recycling totes!!

*We generally recommend one recycling tote per trash container, so that recycling is easy and convenient for everyone at the event.

Students who plan to organize an event should make a note on the request form for event recycling containers, if needed. Students need to make a note of such needs under the “Requirements” section of the form. Events that involve the serving of bottled or canned beverages should provide event recycling totes. If you experience difficulty in acquiring an event recycling tote, please feel free to contact us, and we will work with Physical Plant to ensure that recycling takes place at your event.
