Our event waste management services cover the key aspects to get rid of rubbish effectively from your festival, fair, conference, or any other event. You can speak to one of our experts for bespoke advice about managing the waste your event creates. If you know what you need, simply book delivery and collection of the required bins.

The event waste management waste services we offer apply to events of any size, type, and location in the UK and include:

• Free bin deliveries – we can deliver a wide range of bins for safe and effective storage of all rubbish produced at your event. Select the number, sizes, and types of bins, bags, and waste containers to support your needs, from two and four-wheel bins to skips, balers, and more. There are no hire, delivery, or hidden charges, you only pay for collection.
• Flexible waste collections – arrange waste removal at a time that suits you, whether you need multiple bin collections throughout your event or just one collection after it finishes. We offer flexible waste collections so you can get rid of rubbish types on different schedules (such as arranging removal of food waste daily, while glass waste may only need taking away at the end of your event).
• Recycling services – as much waste as possible is diverted away from landfill when it leaves your event site. We provide a wide range of bins to encourage separating and recycling waste across your event, such as individual bins for plastic, glass, paper, cardboard, metals, and dry mixed recycling. These waste types are all transported to recycling facilities for reuse.
• Waste management plan – our experts can work with you to devise an efficient and cost-effective waste management plan for your event. They’ll assess your event and consider factors such as its size, location, facilities, and more to advise on the best bins and collection schedules. This provides peace of mind that all waste produced will be managed safely with no overflowing bins or hygiene issues developing.

Arrange event rubbish bin hire with no rental or delivery costs – you only pay for collection. We can provide a wide range of festival waste bins to suit indoor and outdoor events of all sizes. Consider the ground, location, and accessibility where your event will be held to determine the best bins for your event.

The main types of bins we provide for many events include:

• Wheelie bins – available in sizes from 240 litres to large four-wheel 1100 litre wheelie bins. Wheelie bins can store general waste and food waste, as well as individual recycling streams such as glass, plastic, paper, and cardboard.
• Commercial waste bags – if space or access is an issue then waste bags may be a better option. We can provide 40 to 80 litre waste bags, as well as specialised bags for hazardous and clinical waste types.
• Front and rear end loaders – these large static containers can store between 60 and 160 bags of waste (but no glass, liquids, or hazardous waste). Delivery and removal require heavy lifting machinery so your event must have appropriate space and access.

Let us know if you just want bin delivery and collection or additional services such as a site audit and/or event waste management planning. We’ll ask for a few details about the size, location, type, and date of your event.

When we’ve determined the types, sizes, and number of bins you need, when you want them delivered and collected, how often, and where from, we’ll provide a free no obligation quote. If you’re happy with the price then we’ll book your bin deliveries and collections and keep you informed along the way.

Your bins will be delivered to the event site on time. Any static containers will be placed in an agreed space, while wheelie bins and waste bags can be moved around your site as desired. When it comes to collection, our licensed waste carriers will visit your site at the agreed time.

Place any wheelie bins or waste bags at the agreed pickup point, or ensure access is available. They’ll provide any new bins if required and transport your event waste to a nearby waste transfer station. The rubbish will be checked, sorted, and sent for recycling or responsible disposal based on its type.

Festival waste is a big issue and every year there are reports about the amount of rubbish left behind by revellers. UK music festivals create 25,800 tonnes of waste annually. Small, independent, and community festivals also produce significant volumes of waste over a short period. Effective festival waste management is vital to ensure your event runs smoothly.

Organising any type and size of festival requires a clear plan for managing waste. Having a range of bins located in high-traffic places helps reduce the amount of rubbish thrown on the ground. It can also encourage recycling by making it easier for attendees to separate waste when disposing of it.

Recycling as much waste as possible is vital for festivals. It helps protect the environment and create a green image for your event, while it’s also cheaper as it reduces the amount of landfill tax you pay for waste disposal. Separate bins for plastic, paper, and metal waste help separate drinks cups, bottles, and cans easily.

You should draw up an event waste management plan before holding any festival, fair, or other celebration. This provides a good idea of what you need to have in place and when to ensure all rubbish is removed safely and avoid any overflowing bins and hygiene issues occurring. The main things to factor into an event waste management plan are:

• Number and size of bins – work out the types and amount of waste your event will create. It’s good to be cautious and overestimate to avoid rubbish piling up. Then determine the best sizes, types, and number of bins you’ll need across your site.
• Bin locations – determine the best places for each bin. It’s advisable to place general waste and recycling bins next to each other close to vendors, so attendees can easily separate their rubbish. They also need to be accessible or somewhere they can be removed easily for collection.
• Recycling – look for as many recycling opportunities as possible. This could be through ensuring all food and drinks are served in recyclable containers to using more dry mixed recycling bins in place of general waste bins.
• Collection days and times – depending on the size and length of your event you might need bins collecting throughout the festivities or just at the end. The likes of food waste often need removing daily, while dry recycling can usually be stored safely for a few days.
• Collection routes – plan collection routes to ensure trucks and heavy lifting machinery can easily reach any skips, front and rear end loaders, and other static containers. Also, ensure there’s a clear path to move any wheelie bins to the agreed pickup point.

We provide free bins for any type and size of event anywhere in the UK – you simply cover the collection costs. Choose from a wide range of bins, bags, and containers to store waste securely on-site. This includes wheelie bins of various sizes that make separating recycling easy, to large static containers.

Combine the best number, sizes, and types of bins and a collection schedule that suits your event. It could be just one collection at the end of your event or ad hoc waste removals throughout. We can help work out an efficient and cost-effective waste management plan for your event.
