Event Waste Sorting
Event Waste Sorting
Why are there no recycling containers?! The Santa Barbara Bowl practices a single-stream for all event waste. Once the concert is over, a crew of sorters come to sort the pile of waste between recycling, restaurant-level compost, r.cup collection, and landfill. The Bowl has achieved as high as a 97% diversion from landfill rate. Since COVID the average has dropped to approximately 75%.
