Tackle waste management for your event with Grundon, contact us today on: 08700 604 366 special.events@grundon.com At our heart is a bespoke waste management service completely tailored to your needs. Good planning is the key to success and we help you decide your priorities – for example, whether recycling is top of the agenda or if you want to use our own Energy from Waste (EfW) facilities to divert waste from landfill and generate renewable electricity. We will talk you through every step of the waste management process and we work closely with event organisers, production companies, event cleaning companies and also directly with customers, to ensure a smooth and hassle-free approach. We also talk to the stallholders, caterers and traders, helping them to understanding what we are trying to achieve and giving them the necessary tools, such as food caddies and specialist food waste bins, to promote segregation and recycling back-of-house, as well as in public areas. Offering a total waste management service for events means we install a variety of bins in all shapes and sizes – often in bin station areas – to help segregate the different types of waste. As always, location, location, location is important and we will always make sure bins are well signposted and situated in areas on main walkways with high footfall. This applies equally whether it’s an outdoor event or an indoor one. For a typical large event, such as a music festival or sporting occasion, you’ll find 120 litre food waste bins, 240 and 1100 litre wheeled bins with our front end loaders, skips, rolonofs and balers. We even use mobile compactors which reduce the number of on-site vehicle movements, making it safer for everyone. All our bins are colour-coded and they come with very clear signage to help all the festival goers understand which items go in which bins. And when we say a total waste management service, it really is, taking care of everything from mixed recycling, general waste, plastic waste, glass waste, metal waste (e.g. drinks cans), cardboard recycling, food waste, and even clinical waste from first aid rooms and toilet areas. Some waste – for example camping gas bottles from campsites – will also come under hazardous waste, and you can rely on us to ensure you are 100% with all the necessary hazardous waste compliance rules and regulations. What that means is that if your crowds are enjoying their burgers in a bun from a cardboard tray (or not enjoying them in which case it’s food waste), they’re washing those burgers down with a drink in a plastic glass, and they used a napkin as well, then they can easily find a home for all of those types of waste. Because we have access to all our own disposal and treatment facilities, such as Anaerobic Digestion (AD) and Materials Recovery Facilities (MRF)s, we can tell you exactly where your waste goes and provide all the statistics you need to benchmark one year’s event against another. Our focus is always on helping you to improve your environmental credentials and the fact our own vehicle collection fleet is certified CarbonNeutral® it means you don’t add to your carbon footprint when we come to collect those bins. Our experts say that recycling at home is gradually filtering down to recycling while out and about – let us help you make recycling at events a real priority.
