CRITICAL WASTE

Our recycling systems are tried and tested, both for dealing with event waste and in extracting the largest amount of recycling possible.

Source separation is essential to a achieving a good recycling rate.
It's never been possible to send unsorted waste off site to have it recycled properly elsewhere.
We always source separate waste.

With well signed bins for different materials for the public and traders, plus colour coded bags for the litter pick we make sure we don't miss any chance to pull out recycling.
This doesn't slow us down as we realise events and festivals move fast and wont wait for us. Our crew has years of experience and can clear a site as quickly as the companies who just throw it all away.

When our high quality recycling leaves the event site we always work with local and reputable companies for final disposal, choosing those who keep the material in the UK and Europe wherever possible.

After the show we provide organisers with the figures to understand the waste that's come out of their event. These can be used to promote an event's commitment to the environment.
Our figures are reliable and have stood up to scrutiny and auditors - which we welcome in an industry that is rife with false claims and greenwashing.

The simple premise that underpins genuine recycling is that if the waste from an event is not being separated at source then it's probably not receiving a proper recycling service. Which is what an event is paying for after all, especially taking in to consideration that the increasing cost of sending waste to landfill can be reduced by recycling.

Our part in the global issue of waste is small in terms of tonnage but large in cultural significance. Public events help form our attitudes and the promotion of environmental sustainability in these places can have far reaching effects.

What you can expect from us:

Before the event:

• - We can be trusted to design an informed, cost effective service for your event so you have one less thing to worry about.
• - Our experience and reputation can offer your event the credibility needed to gain your license.
• - Good advice and peace of mind regarding compliance with Environment Agency and waste legislation.

• - We keep up to date on developments within the waste industry especially with reference to new technology and disposal, ensuring that you have access to the best advice and knowledge.

  On the ground:

  • - Well designed bin stations (with clear signage) which have more than proved to be the best system for dealing with front of house waste.
  • - Specially designed trade waste containment to ensure that high quality separation and cleanliness are maintained.
  • - Well placed, signed and designed waste containment for camping areas.
  • - A professional crew on the ground who are dedicated to responding to any waste issues quickly, positively and efficiently.
  • - High quality litter picking which is able to respond to an event's deadlines. (We've never failed to meet a deadline yet, despite short notice changes and bad weather).

  • - All the containment methods mentioned are regularly serviced.

    After the event has finished:

    • - Fast and efficient clearance allowing the site to be returned to the owner on schedule.
    (We have often found that land owners want us to be the waste contractor and we understand that an event's relationship with them is very important).
    • - We offer a fully accountable duty of care procedure, so you can be sure your waste is disposed of properly and the maximum amount of material is recovered, recycled and diverted from landfill.
    • - We also offer a post event report which includes your event's all important recycling figure and any points which may need attention for the following year.
