Events waste & recycling

By reducing the amount of waste your event sends to landfill gives your event a good reputation of being responsible. The cost of recycling clearly outweighs the cost of landfill - both to your hip pocket and your environment.

We offer a mobile recycling, organics and waste disposal service which offers up to 15 bins to assist public events with their waste management.

If you have an event coming up, have further enquiries or would like to use this service please email Council.

Event Details:
Is this event reoccuring? * (required)
Bin Details: How do I calculate how many bins are required?
Influences may include: 1. Catering areas and expected crowds 2. Distance people are prepared to go to use a bin. Bin stations are recommended to be between 3–14 metres apart, as beyond these distances more littering starts to occur 3.Type of waste to be produced
Bin requirements estimate example: a) 50-100 people + 1-2 food stalls = 3 recycle + 3 waste, b) 100-200 people + 5 food stalls = 5 recycle + 5 waste, c) 200-400 people + 10 food stalls = 8 recycle + 8 waste
Bin servicing * (required)
Have arrangements been made for bin servicing throughout the event – emptying, cleaning, repositioning?
Bin placement is essential for optimal waste management. Placement near food areas and where waste may accumulate will prevent litter. Bins placed side-by-side and not back-to-back will avoid confusion when bin nearest is approached.Highlight locations of bin stations including types of bins and bin transfer routes to a collection point.
