Resources For Event Organizers

To help local event organizers plan for America Recycles Day, we are compiling various documents, website links and other resources that we have found in the public domain. If you have any project reports from past years, creative ideas or other materials you think could benefit other event organizers, you are encouraged to e-mail them to us at lauraa@zerowastesandiego.org so that we can share them with others in the future.
