Tips for Minimising Waste at Events

Managing wastes at events with large gatherings demands careful planning. Whether it’s a party, concert, festival, or any public gathering, Adelaide Waste and Recycling Centre offers assistance in waste management and reduction strategies.

Bins to Prevent Wastes at Events

Placing bins strategically around the event site, especially where food is consumed, is crucial. Inadequate or absent bins lead to a massive cleanup later. At any public event, having accessible bins that are consolidated into a larger bin for collection is fundamental. For instance, smaller bins dispersed throughout the venue can be periodically emptied into a central bin, which can then be collected for efficient waste management—an aspect covered within Adelaide Waste and Recycling Centre’s service offerings. We provide bulk bin hire, delivering and collecting bins conveniently while managing their contents.

While having bins is a fundamental waste management step, additional tactics can further reduce waste at events, cutting down on both environmental impact and expenses for the collection of the wastes at events.

Implementing recycling for specific materials like plastic, cardboard, paper, and glass significantly reduces landfill waste. Offering recycling bins, a familiar practice for many attendees, ensures responsible disposal. Events may explore creative recycling methods, such as designated staff collecting glass bottles for offsite recycling when space for recycling bins is limited.

Managing food waste is critical. Adelaide Waste and Recycling Centre supports businesses in recycling organic waste. Placing green bins in food preparation areas promotes responsible disposal, freeing up space in regular waste bins.

Examining environmentally friendly packaging options is another avenue. Minimising plastic use for merchandise or food vendors by opting for biodegradable or reduced packaging—like paper or reusable cutlery—can significantly reduce landfill waste. However, this approach requires early planning during event preparation.
