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.

What To Look For In a Waste Removal Company

by Angel Lambert

If you have accumulated a lot of rubbish and cannot rely on your local council bin service to handle the waste, then you need a waste removal service. Rubbish removal can take many different forms from skip bin hire to a rubbish removal service. Here are some of the considerations to make before choosing a rubbish removal service.

Company's Disposal Policy

There are different types of waste, with each requiring different disposal methods. For example, a company may generate paper waste in the office, construction waste on the worksites and food waste in the kitchen. You need to understand how a prospective garbage disposal company will handle the waste.

A waste disposal company may provide you with bins for different waste streams. For example, different bins for plastics, cardboard, paper, hazardous waste and construction debris. In this case, it is your duty to ensure the right waste goes into the right bins. Some rubbish disposal companies offer commingled bins in which you are required to put all types of waste except hazardous waste. These companies have facilities where they sort the waste in these bins, recycle some and dispose of the rest in landfills.

Accessibility

Before hiring a waste removal company, you need to determine access to the site. Many skip suppliers refuse to deliver skips or charge a high fee because of dangerous or poor site access. Make sure there are no obstructions like trees, structures or overhead wires that block the delivery of the skip bin.

Inspect the area the truck will pass through when delivering the skip bin to identify potential problems. If there are obstructions that cannot be removed on short notice, identify an easily accessible delivery and pickup point. A rule of thumb is to ensure the driveway is wide enough for the truck to drive through when placing and picking the skip bin.

Cost

Before hiring a waste removal service, you need to consider your budget. The price of waste removal will depend on the type and amount of waste you are disposing of. Therefore, you should determine the rates of different types and amount of waste by different companies. Usually, construction and toxic waste may attract higher costs because they require special disposal methods.

Another thing that will affect the price is the skip bin hire. Many companies will charge a daily fee for the skip bin. This means for every day you remain with the skip bin you will be charged. Therefore, you should try and fill all the waste on the same day the bin is delivered so the company may pick it up on the same day. This will help you minimise the cost of the entire waste removal project.
