Setting up recycling at your club or event is a simple and straightforward way to take a step toward your Clean Regatta. If your club or municipality already has recycling, then all you have to do is set up recycling bins alongside all your trash bins at the regatta, and make sure signs are well posted so participants know where to dispose of bottles, cans, and other recyclables.

bins.
If you don't have a recycling system set up already, the first step is to contact a local waste hauling or recycling company to schedule a pickup at your site.
