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.  The Recycling Program has special totes to be used at events only.

To reserve a room for your event, call Victoria Moschou at Central Reservations (ext. 2070).  Let her know the following:

- The date and time of your event
- If you need tables and chairs
- If you need trash containers...AND RECYCLING TOTES!*

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

Central Reservations has an event request form that can be accessed online at internal/resource25/space_requests.htm .  On this form will be a line where you can request recycling totes. 

Also, if you are having a small event in your office or student office, you can still call Victoria and request recycling totes.  Please utilize our program!

To understand how recycling at events works, following is a quick summary of the process:

1.  Victoria receives your request for an event set-up and sends it to the set-up crew at Physical Plant.
2.  Physical Plant brings the requested number of recycling totes to the event and lines them with plastic bags.
3.  After the event is over, Physical Plant takes the bags of recyclables out of the totes and puts them aside.  They bring the empty totes back to their storage location.  Hurley of America then takes the bags of recyclables to the Cans and Bottles totes in the building.

Easy!  So to make this all work, we need your help!  Please request recycling totes for your events and help Providence College recycle to their maximum potential.
