Allegiant Stadium is the first NFL Stadium to have a biomass machine onsite. This biomass machine can process 650 pounds of food scraps, paper products, and field grass clippings per 24 hours. The 650 pounds of material is minimized to 10 – 15% of its initial volume and turned into biomass that will be combined with general soil to create viable compost material for plants. Greenhouse gases are mitigated through this process by reducing the amount of hauls off premises.

On Average, 100 pounds of unclaimed lost and found items are donated every 1 to 2 months to a local women's and children shelter.

Since Fall of 2022, the Stadium has donated all unclaimed lost and found cell phones & electronics to a cell phone donation nonprofit that wipes the devices clean and donates them to victims of domestic abuse.
