We provide access to an effective way to recycle and compost at gatherings and events, large or small. We also employ people with disabilities to staff events and help educate others on various aspects of reducing, reusing and recycling. Please see our tiered services below

Minimizing Our Waste Stream

Garten Waste Less Services helps reduce the generation of trash. When you hold a Waste Less Event, you demonstrate your dedication to reducing, recycling and composting items previously regarded merely as items to be discarded and disposed.

Employing People with Disabilities

Garten Waste Less Services is staffed by people with disabilities, fulfilling Garten’s mission. Waste Less Events that include a contract for staffing see a Garten Green Team in action, supervised by a job coach. Whichever service level you choose, you can rest assured that your event will have a measurably reduced carbon footprint and will embody social equity.

Seeing Things in a New Way 

“Waste Less” is a new way of seeing. Instead of viewing used materials as garbage in need of disposal, discarded items can instead be seen as valuable resources. These items represent jobs for people with disabilities, financial opportunity, personal independence and raw material for new products or other purposes.

Demonstrating Our Dedication to the Environment. 

Garten is committed to sustainability. You can demonstrate your commitment to our environment by using our Garten Waste Less Services at your events or gatherings. Choose from the four levels of service described above. We help people who want to make a positive environmental action know how to do it. Ultimately, everyone “wins”.
