Public Events
To create recycling habits, we need to provide easy access to recycling at home, work, and play via environmental design. A best practice is to provide paired recycling and garbage receptacles, clear simple signage as well as monitoring and collection. Recycling at public events—such as Taste of Cincinnati, Reds Opening Day, Blink, or watching the World Cup in the DORA District—signals to our residents and visitors that Cincinnati embodies a culture of sustainability. Workforce development is also essential so that event producers can hire skilled professionals to do this work.
