ClearStream achieves consistent success. Using volunteer labor instead of public employees, staff time dramatically reduces operation costs. "Local" ownership of the event provides greater participation, and as a result, recycled events are also cleaner events reducing litter clean up costs.
Why Should Private Organizations Volunteer to Adopt recycling at Events?
Ten's of thousand's of events are adopted every year by volunteer groups borrowing ClearStream recycling containers. Borrowing ClearStream containers eliminates the need to purchase or store them.
Since 2003, ClearStream customers have been developing a system for On-The-Go recycling that is efficient and cost effective. Today, thousands of customers doing tens of thousands of events are creating dynamic public/private recycling partnerships using the Adopt-An-Event recycling model.
Like the original Adopt-A-Highway programs, Adopt-An-Event creates dynamic public/private recycling partnerships. Public agencies like cities and counties purchase ClearStreams and put them in a bin bank/tool shed so organizations can check them out. Private organizations Adopt-An-Event by borrowing ClearStream recycling containers from public agencies like cities and counties for use at their own events. The Result is sustainable On-The-Go recycling with minimal investment by either partner.
