spread the love waste management

At the end of your wonderful wedding night, the last thing you want to think about is what to do with all the leftovers! Fortunately, our team is very passionate about this topic and we are here to help. With our Spread the Love Waste Management Add-on we will take care of all the logistics to get your food and decor to a happy new home.

Food waste management:

Our team has worked with Just Food to understand the policies and procedures for properly transporting food waste from large events to our community. We will work with you to understand how much food you would like to take home and will properly pack and transport the rest.

Options include:

• Composting food waste from self-service buffets in partnership with Food Cycle KC (Food Cycle KC fees will apply).

• Copacking any food not serviced on a self-service buffet into meal-ready containers, properly labeled with date and ingredients for Just Food to distribute through their facility.

• Collaborting with catering staff to minimize food waste with service plans at the event. This could include reducing a food order and/or serving smaller amounts of food at a time to minimize public contamination.

decor waste management:

In order to minimize decor waste at your wedding, our team will help in the following ways: 

• Consult on items that are best rented instead of purchased for one time use.

• Discuss high areas of waste that we experience and brainstorm alternatives. This could include things like favors, desserts and more.

• Provide cost calculations for disposable versus compostable versus reusable items including dishes, flatware, and cups.

• Redistribue florals to local senior centers, teachers and anyone who’s day would be brightened with your gorgeous blooms.

• Donate used candles to Waxman Candles to be melted and poured into beautiful new candles.
