How Our Event Waste Clean Up Services Work
Planning an event, to ensure the majority of the waste collected goes to a suitable composting facility, is a great step forward to show that with your next event you considered the environment.
However,
it is not as simple as just putting out the right bins in the hope that people will dispose of their waste appropriately
.
While environmentally-friendly events require the correct bin systems to capture landfill waste, refundable drink containers and the compostable food scraps and tableware,
what actually happens is that without proper management the waste streams become contaminated.
The typical outcome is that the waste, that could be composted or recycled, ends up going to landfill as it becomes a tiresome task to sort through and remove rubbish that has ended up in the wrong waste stream. And thus cannot make it to the destination that it was originally created to find.
This process of a non-closed loop in the event waste capture process, destroys the systems put in place by other leading waste organisations, which have been created to provide solutions to the real world problems of plastic pollution
If we continue, at this rate, it is estimated there will be more plastic than fish (by weight) in the oceans by the year 2050 (according to Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2016).
This is where
The Down To Earth Events Crew
can help.
We offer:
"Bin skins"
and systems to meet public and back of house (vendor) requirements;
Correct placement of bins
at events to best capture the materials that can be diverted from landfill and instead go to composting and recycling waste streams;
Getting your events
green waste to a commercial composting facility
and disposing of refundable and landfill waste correctly.
Auditing of the amount of waste at your event, giving you analysis, data and recommendations for future events.
Our
Waste Whisperer
will hand out raffle tickets to your patrons, when they choose the correct bin for their waste, at your next event. By doing this we reward your patrons and make learning new skills fun, proving that not only do you care for the environment, but you want to help others follow your lead.
