EVENT WASTE SQUAD

In 2017 we launched a new in house event clean up team service to support our large scale event productions and it was an instant success and not only helped immensely improve our leave no trace policy, but it also attracted interest from other event producers and without any promotion or marketing, it then branched out in 2018 to provide a bookable service for full site clean up and waste disposal service for an additional raft of events in Sheffield for the Council’s Major Events Team. In 2019 the team started getting booked by other event production companies to provide a full clear up service and, since 2020 our event service squad have expanded their services ensuring public events are both safe and enjoyable. This includes services such as toilet management and sanitation stations.

SITE TEAM

Our on site team is made up of a number of experienced and dedicated team members, who go the extra mile to ensure we achieve the leave no trace policy we promote to provide you for peace of mind when producing and event. 

The team work in all environments and all weather conditions and do so with a huge smile on their face and due diligence in their approach to the job in hand, at which they take great pride in their work. No job is too small or too big and we have over 50 + people to call in to run a team of all sizes or more than one team at a time for seperate events in different places.

All our team are fully trained and given a full H&S site induction and they are supported by an administration team and an official waste processing plant operator. What we cant recycle, reuse or reduce, we send to a safe incineration process to be disposed of correctly and safely and this then in turn is turned into energy use, helping us achieve our green tick in the box!!

We process all our waste in an environmental manner and in line with our waste carriers license and our principal recycling first policy. The team come fully kitted out with bright hi vis uniform and full PPE kit from gloves to work boots and litter pickers, brushe, rakes, shovels, hoops and bags. In addition we can provide a set of colour coded waste collection bin points to help process the waste on site and this can sort the rubbish created by event attendees or the working production team and on site traders. Leave No Trace, means exactly what it says. 

It is a dirty job, but we love being someone who has to do it!!

Costs / prices for the above range from £300 – £6,000, depending on your requirements and scale of clearance needed and all bookings can be tailored to suit the needs of individual businesses.
