- Recycling centers are be located around the event for aluminum cans, plastic cups and paper products.
- Reusable Swig Swag mugs are sold, encouraging concertgoers to bring them back to each event for a discount refill.

- Leftover and uncooked food will be taken back to their respective restaurants to be reused or composted.
