In Rennes (France) we opted for glass carafes for water and reusable plastic cups such as the ones you find in music festivals (+ it's a great marketing medium - you can print on it)
We also have a can crusher that allowed us to reduce consequently the volume in our trashbags while recycling (aluminum is very easy to recycle). So we have a can trash and ask people to crunch their cans first. For big events, we have a policy with some catering companies: we ask them to take back the trash with them. (not all of them, most don't want to comply) advantages : - you don't have to pack your own bins - they are generally equiped and able to recycle (we aren't) - they realize how much people waste and can adjust quantities for the next time Thanks for your own tips!
