“We’re working on taking steps that truly impact our world in a positive way, and we’re grateful to the EPA for this recognition.” “We’re really proud of the focus the team has had on putting on great shows while also committing to the least amount of waste possible,” said Frank Lopresti, general manager, Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre. The venue has over 15 staff members devoted to waste diversion and green initiatives. In 2019, the Amphitheatre achieved a waste diversion rate of 60% and donated 1,050 pounds of textiles. Live Nation’s Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre has repeatedly proven to be a venue pushing the boundaries on sustainability and focuses on waste diversion in multiple ways, including a textile donation program, composting, and outreach opportunities for both staff and fans. “Their dedication to developing a culture of pollution prevention is making a real impact in the community and helps lead the way to a less wasteful future.” “Congratulations to Live Nation Entertainment on their well-deserved recognition as a WasteWise Award winner,” said EPA Region 7 Administrator Meg McCollister. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognized Live Nation’s Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Maryland Heights, Missouri, with a 2020 EPA Region 7 WasteWise Award.
