Overview
Waste Busters has been greening events by operating Zero Waste programs for the last 9 years. We have sorted a LOT of compost and recycling, hundreds of tons manually sorted by our team. Most event waste is food waste and organics, usually over 50%, so we work hard to keep it out of landfills. Our team can do more keeping events clean and green if we let our robot do the sorting. We need help getting it online and sorting compost.
