Special Event Recycling

Special events provide a great opportunity to recycle and compost. NRWS/NCRWS is committed to increasing recycling at Napa events and helping you make it happen. When you call us for service for your event we’ll help you select the right recycling, compost and trash containers for your needs and we’ll provide guidelines for successful event recycling.
