Event-ready waste programs for peak-volume venues that cannot miss service.
Large venues and large events are explicitly named in California's SB 1383. Between event-surge food waste, sponsor-branded materials, and cardboard from setup and teardown, venues generate concentrated streams that need documented programs.
What waste looks like without the right partner.
SB 1383 covers large venues and large events
California's SB 1383 explicitly includes large venues and large events as covered entities. If documented organics diversion and compliance reporting aren't in place, venues face daily fines.
Sponsor and branded materials after events
After a concert, game, or convention, branded materials — banners, signage, packaging — can't go in the dumpster without creating unauthorized resale or brand risk. ICTV handles secure destruction with Certificate of Destruction.
Surge volumes that overwhelm standard programs
Event waste is concentrated in hours, not days. Standard recycling programs aren't built for surge volumes. ICTV designs programs around event schedules with dedicated documentation for each event.
Contamination in front-of-house guest streams
Guest-facing organics stations during events have high contamination rates. ICTV focuses on back-of-house and concession organic streams where documentation is cleaner and diversion is more reliable.
The gap between standard service and what venues & events operations actually need.
Standard programs aren't designed for event-surge volumes.
A venue that generates 2 tons of organics on event day and 200 lbs on an off day needs a program built around the calendar, not an average. Generic haulers don't adjust for it.
Sponsor and branded materials end up in the dumpster with no documentation.
After an event, banners, signage, and packaging from sponsors disappear into the waste stream. Unauthorized resale and brand exposure follow. ICTV issues a Certificate of Destruction within 48 hours.
Contamination in guest-facing stations undermines diversion claims.
High-contamination front-of-house sorting stations look good on paper but produce organic loads that composters reject. ICTV focuses on back-of-house organic streams where documentation is defensible.
