Public Event Requirements
Public Event Requirements
Event organizers play an important role in helping Glendale reduce waste and protect the environment. Proper planning and recycling at public events helps divert materials from landfills, keeps venues clean, and supports the City’s sustainability goals.
Requirements for Large Public Events
Large public events are defined as events with an average attendance of more than 2,000 people where admission is charged, such as concerts, festivals, and large fairs.
Organizers of qualifying large events are required to submit:
- A valid City event permit
- A Waste Reduction Event Plan, in compliance with California Assembly Bill 2176: Venue and Event Waste Reduction
These requirements help ensure recyclable and compostable materials are properly collected and managed during the event.
