Hosting Special Events

If you are organising or conducting an event, what considerations have you given to the management of waste generated from your event?
A new initiative from Great Lakes Council may help you to manage your waste in a more efficient way and increase the amount of rubbish that is recycled.
The Special Events Trailers are designed to provide and encourage event organisers the opportunity to recycle as much rubbish as possible during their event, and are available to the community. The fully enclosed trailers come with eight mobile garbage bins with coloured bin hoods to distinguish garbage from recycling. The eight bins can be a combination of 100% garbage bins, 100% recycling bins or yellow lidded split bins.
As society moves towards being sustainable, recycling our waste is an important step. Often recycling efforts can be overlooked during large events due to the volume of waste that is generated and dealt with. Diverting much of this waste from landfill by promoting and encouraging recycling at events is an important change to make.
If you are interested in the Special Events Trailers or require any further information, please contact Waste Services on 02 6591 7222.
