You nailed the brand moment: The booth was stunning, the swag was on point, and the experience delivered.
But now the event is over– and you're stuck with leftover signage, unopened giveaways, and branded buildouts you can’t reuse. You don’t know where else to put it besides the garbage, but you know there must be a better solution.
What happens next matters. Whether you are running a sustainable event or not, there are always items at the end that don’t need to go to waste.
That’s where LiquiDonate comes in: helping experiential and event marketing teams donate leftover event materials to nonprofits– reducing waste, avoiding the landfill, and turning your wrap-up into real community impact.
Why Sustainable Event Planning Is a Smart Marketing Strategy
More and more, consumers are watching how brands show up beyond the show floor.
According to IBM and the National Retail Federation, nearly 70% of Gen Z and Millennial consumers prefer brands that align with their values—and environmental responsibility is a top priority.
Incorporating sustainable event ideas into your wrap-up isn’t just good PR–it’s a way to strengthen brand loyalty, meet ESG goals, and avoid wasteful, expensive cleanups.
LiquiDonate makes this easy for experiential teams by helping you:
- Donate branded assets to local nonprofits
- Track and share the impact for post-event reporting
- Protect brand equity with a smarter, more responsible exit strategy
How It Works
Whether you’re an experiential brand team, managing an event, or working for an agency, here’s how easy it is to add donation into your event wrap-up plan:
- Upload Inventory – List extra swag, signage, display assets, or decor
- We Match It – Our software connects your items with vetted nonprofits
- Logistics, Handled – We coordinate pickup, donor shipping, or label generation
- Track the Impact – You receive donation receipts, delivery confirmation, and optional impact reporting
And if that sounds like too much and you need to clear the floor ASAP, we offer a white glove service that does just that.

Yes, There Is a Home for That
Think no one wants that branded banner? Not sure where that AstroTurf, neon sign, or oddly specific rug could go?
There is a home for it.
LiquiDonate has rerouted everything from plush mascots and oversized product displays to custom signage and flooring. Whether it ends up donated to a local nonprofit, repurposed by a community space, or responsibly recycled—we make sure it stays out of the landfill and gets a second life.
Your leftovers aren’t trash. They’re untapped impact. And we’re here to help you unlock it.
Events That Use LiquiDonate to Boost Impact
🌎 Earth Week Donation Competition
For Earth Week, NBA employees turned sustainability into a company-wide activation. Teams across departments held a friendly donation competition, gathering gently used items and leftover branded gear to donate through LiquiDonate.
It wasn’t just about doing good—it was a morale boost, a team builder, and a visible commitment to values. Sustainability wasn’t just a theme for the week; it became a hands-on experience that showed what collective action could look like at work.
🏀 All-Star Weekend at the Chase Center
When the Golden State Warriors hosted NBA All-Star Weekend, the energy didn’t end at the buzzer. After the final game wrapped, LiquiDonate partnered with NBA teams and vendors to reroute branded gear, signage, and event materials—redirecting them to local youth-focused nonprofits and housing organizations across the Bay Area.
What could’ve ended up in a landfill became high-impact donations for the community. It was a clear win for the environment, and a strong follow-through on the Chase Center’s commitment to meaningful sustainability.
💼 Dreamforce Conference by Salesforce
At one of the largest tech conferences in the world, booth buildouts, branded props, and event supplies were collected and donated within 48 hours of closeout. LiquiDonate worked with Dreamforce teams and vendors to ensure high-quality materials reached Bay Area nonprofits quickly and efficiently—setting a new standard for sustainable event management at scale.
These events weren’t marketed as “sustainable,” but they still made a difference—and yours can too. LiquiDonate continues to partner with Dreamforce year after year.
Sustainable Events Start With Smart Decisions at the End
You don’t need to overhaul your entire strategy to run a more sustainable event. Just start with your surplus.
By donating leftover event materials, you reduce waste, create community value, and show your audience that your brand is serious about sustainability.
