Moving and Event Services

New compostable items available for events

ASU Moving and Event Services now sells compostable dining sets and rents compost, recycling and landfill waste bins to use at ASU events.

Plan your zero-waste event

With the new waste bin rental, event attendees can easily dispose of plates, cups, utensils, napkins and food scraps all in one place. 

Moving and Event Services delivers compostable dining sets and waste bins for the event, and picks up the waste and bin sets when collecting the other event equipment.
