Removing rubbish from a public event such as Christmas Carols

If you are going to run a public event like a Christmas Carols function, it's important to think about how you will manage your rubbish collection. There is a surprising amount of rubbish generated anytime a group of people gather in a big place and often for public safety there will be limited space where garbage can be stored during your event. You need to think about how you will collect rubbish during your event as well as how to clean up the site after the event. This blog is all about garbage removal from public events and should be useful for event organisers.

All You Need to Know About Rubbish Removal Services

by Angel Lambert

If you are moving house or office, having a demolition/renovations/construction project, have old unusable mattresses, equipment, appliances and electronics, etc., you might need rubbish removal services. This article helps you get a better understanding of these services.

Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste

You need to know what is classified as hazardous waste and non-hazardous waste to know which type of waste most rubbish removal companies handle.

Hazardous waste is waste that can cause harm to your health and the environment. This is waste that is toxic, corrosive, reactive and ignitable. Most rubbish removal companies do not handle hazardous waste. You might need a company that specialises in specific hazardous waste.

Non-hazardous waste is the opposite of hazardous waste. It may not cause health concerns, but it can be ugly to look at. It can also create a home for pests. It is important to note that some non-hazardous waste can cause harm to the environment. Most rubbish removal companies handle this type of waste.

What Are the Types of Non-hazardous Waste Removed?

They can be classified under real estate, hard, backyard, demolition and worksite rubbish. 

  • Real estate rubbish includes clean-ups of garages, attics, basements, body corporates, rental properties and deceased estates.
  • Hard rubbish includes things like electronics, for example, computers and TVs, appliances like freezers and fridges, mattresses, old carpets, old clothes, toys, excess cardboard, furniture like beds, sofas and chairs, etc.
  • Backyard rubbish comprises mostly of green and garden waste.
  • Demolition and worksite rubbish include concrete and timber waste from demolished structures.

Where Is the Waste Taken?

Rubbish removal companies can either dispose of the waste in a landfill, recycle it or donate it. They are highly trained to make the correct decision that does not impact negatively on you or the environment.

What Is the Process of Hiring Rubbish Removal Services?

Determine whether the waste is hazardous or non-hazardous so that you know which company to contact. Look for a company in your locality to avoid spending too much and give them a call. You might be asked several questions like what kind of waste you want to have removed and what time you want a team to be sent to your home or office.

Choose a company with uniformed workers because it portrays professionalism. Also, you can only get an accurate quote when the waste has been visually inspected. If a company tries to give you a quote without seeing the waste first, you might be getting duped.
