Event Support
Facilities Operations offers waste receptacle rentals and other event related services such as building unlocks and restroom refreshes. We are here to support any event ranging from small meetings and club events all the way to large conferences and department commencements.
If you are planning an event and need event support, please email facilities-cbs@calpoly.edu or submit your request online through portal. In order to provide the best possible service for your event, university departments, auxiliaries, and student organizations are encouraged to submit event requests at least one week prior to the event date.
Venues
For questions regarding space reservations, please contact University Scheduling. With limited exceptions, all events must be scheduled in the Cal Poly Master Calendar before event requests can be confirmed. External organizations are required to schedule events through Conference and Event Planning.

In addition, the student Zero Waste Ambassadors can support large events helping to educate and ensure waste is properly disposed of. Zero Waste Ambassadors are available depending on student availability and schedule. For more information about the Zero Waste Ambassadors program, contact cpzerowaste@calpoly.edu.

Additional services are subject to scheduling and labor availability and must be prearranged. Labor charges are based on actual hours worked.
Does your event include more than 10 people for an hour or more? If so you will need to request a restroom refresh for the restrooms closest to your event. Our standard maintenance schedule does not cover the additional usage for events.

Policies
The renter is responsible for rental items until they are picked up by Facilities Operations. Rental items are returned as they were delivered. Missing or damaged waste receptacle rentals may result in a charge for the full retail item cost.
Any excessive clean-up of the rental items may result in a charge to the requesting department or club. In order to avoid a clean-up fee from Facility Services, please make sure all event generated trash has been picked up and removed out of room. Additionally, all room furniture has been moved back into original locations.
Contact Strategic Business Services (SBS) for a list of authorized vendors for other event rental needs.
