Event waste management

Tailored event waste management solutions to suit your exact needs

Planning a summer fayre, food festival, Christmas market, music concert, charity fun run, or any other event?

Whatever the size or location of your event, it’s essential to have a plan for how all waste will be stored, removed, and responsibly disposed of.

At SWISCo, we provide fully tailored event waste management solutions to suit your exact needs.

From carrying out on site audits and creating practical festival or event waste management plans, to physically delivering our services for you - we’re here to help your event run as smoothly and sustainably as possible.

Event waste services

What we offer

We offer a complete range of waste management services to help you manage, separate, and dispose of your materials efficiently throughout your festival, fair, exhibition, conference, or community event.

 

Whether you need expert advice or already know the material types, sizes and collection schedule you require, we’ll support you every step of the way.

 

Our services are available for events of all sizes within Torbay and even the close surrounding areas, our services include:

Container deliveries

We supply a full range of waste and recycling containers to safely and efficiently store all waste generated at your event. Choose the quantities, sizes, and types of containers that you need – ranging from your standard two wheeled and four wheeled bins, to bags, and specialist types of material containers such as roll on-off containers and skips.

Flexible collections

Collections can be scheduled to suit your event, whether you need multiple collections during longer events or a single clear‑down at the end. Different waste streams can be collected at different times - for example, daily food and general waste collections, with glass and mixed recycling collected at the end of the event.

Recycling services

While general waste is sent for energy recovery rather than landfill, we prioritise recycling wherever possible. We support effective waste separation by supplying clearly labelled recycling bins, making it easy for staff and attendees to recycle correctly. Services include Dry Mixed Recycling (plastic, tins, paper, and cardboard), glass, and food waste, all taken to approved recycling facilities.

Waste management plans

We can carry out a site audit to assess layout, activities, and expected footfall, recommending suitable containers and collection schedules. This helps prevent overflowing bins, litter issues, and hygiene concerns.

Large and specialist waste

Skips and demountable containers are available for bulky or heavy waste such as event build and breakdown materials. These require sufficient space and vehicle access. Please note, we do not collect hazardous waste, batteries, gas cylinders, paints, or oils.

Litter control and mechanical sweeping

Event organisers are responsible for keeping sites and surrounding areas clean. We can help arrange litter-picking teams and offer mechanical sweeping during or after events to ensure sites are left safe and clean. Mechanical sweeping services are also available year‑round for private sites across Torbay.
