We created close to 321,000 pounds of waste last year, but we diverted 89% of that waste through composting, recycling and reusing. Each year we work alongside Clean Vibes and the San Francisco Department of the Environment to achieve the highest possible diversion rates. All of the single-use cups, plates, bowls, and utensils are 100% compostable at Outside Lands thanks to our sustainability partner Eco-Products. Please make sure to put them in the proper green bin marked “compost.”
Outside Lands hosts The Mission, an area on the festival grounds that provides an educational forum for sustainability and social consciousness, showcasing local community organizations. The festival provides hydration stations throughout the park for filling your reusable drinking vessels. Outside Lands diverted 89% of all waste from the landfill in 2024.
