Zero Waste Event

What is a Zero Waste Event?

"Zero Waste” means at least 90% of waste generated at an event is diverted from the landfill. Keeping campus waste out of local landfills is a critical component of sustainable operations at Sac State and for reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. Sac State has established a 2030 zero-waste goal.

• Following Sac State's goal of zero waste by 2030, we are striving to make Hornet Nest Fest a zero waste event with the goal of 90%+ waste diversion.
• Help us achieve this goal by following instructions and signs on how to properly dispose of your waste when at the event.
