ZERO WASTE

Chowgirls is dedicated to diverting as much waste as possible through composting, recycling, and serving on reusable platters and equipment. On average, 85% of our byproducts are composted or recycled. Here’s how we sort waste at events. We do additional recycling at our HQ through Ridwell.

We also ofer interactive waste sorting at events where guests can learn about our waste standards and dispose of event waste with the guidance of our expert staff.
