Green Catering Guidelines

 

As the only Certified Green Caterer™ in Wisconsin, we are committed to operating as environmentally friendly as possible. We use packaging that is recyclable, compostable, biodegradable, or reusable. Here are some guidelines on how to properly dispose of any materials that come with our drop-off catering services:

  • Foil pans - Fully recyclable, but need to be rinsed first.

  • Metal Chafer Frames - Fully recyclable or reuse.

  • Serving Utensils - Fully recyclable, but need to be rinsed first.

  • Flatware - Compostable; if unable to compost, these are biodegradable and can be disposed of in regular trash.

  • Napkins - Compostable; if unable to compost, these are biodegradable and can be disposed of in regular trash.

  • Platters/Bowls - Fully recyclable, but need to be rinsed first.

  • Balsa Wood Platters - Compostable and fully recyclable.

  • Plates - Compostable; if unable to compost, these are biodegradable and can be disposed of in regular trash.

  • Anything Palm Leaf - Compostable; if unable to compost, these are biodegradable and can be disposed of in regular trash.

  • Sterno - Dispose of in regular trash.

We've put years of effort and improvement into becoming as sustainable as possible. As a result, Tall Guy & a Grill has been named Milwaukee's Best Green Business by Shepherd Express.

We look forward to continuing our initiatives for years to come!
