This was the setup in the gym. This setup was duplicated in the PAC. There was a sign for every serving item the guests would use during their evening. The signs also indicated where the used item should be discarded. In short, there was a general trend toward sorting but by the end of the night 5 of our 6 bags ended up in the trash.
After the party Saturday evening one reasonably "good bag" was brought home to sort into compostables and trash. Lots of discarded cake, miscellaneous wrappers, beer bottles and other items mixed with the compostables. Saturday didn't work so well.
For large events we might need "recycling officials" at each of our discard stations.
Sunday morning's coffee & donuts was a better experience of sorting recycling and compostables. The bins were perfect! Compostables in one, recyclables in a second and trash in the third. It literally could not have been better. Apparently, the moral of the story is people who are into recycling can pull this off with no issues. - Steve
