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.

How To Choose A Rubbish Removal Company

by Angel Lambert

Does your business need rubbish removal services? Outsourcing the service keeps your business profitable since employees do not have to juggle core business activities and rubbish collection. So, how do you hire a rubbish collection company? This piece contains some insights on how to interview a rubbish collection company. 

Assess The Company's Reputation 

Imagine going to work only to find a rubbish heap on your premises. It would affect your business operations and your company's reputation. For these reasons, you must conduct due diligence to determine whether your preferred rubbish removal company keeps its end of the bargain. Interview its clients and check its social media pages to establish its ratings. Typically, consider companies with positive reviews such as timely rubbish collection, attention to detail, professional employees, and compliance with local regulations. You should also check how the company responds to client queries and complaints. For example, companies that offer instant compensation or free services to customers who complain of negligence are likely to pull all stops to guarantee quality services. 

Evaluate The Company's Rubbish Collection Practices 

Ask the company about its rubbish collection practices. For instance; 

  • Does the company offer skip bins and rubbish bins? If it does, check whether it has the permits to place skip bins on the roadside.
  • When does the company collect rubbish? Reputable companies evaluate your collection needs vis-à-vis their rubbish collection routes to determine when to collect waste from your premises.
  • What type of waste is the collection company licenced to handle? It is an essential concern if your company generates medical waste, asbestos-containing products, lead, aerosols, or pesticides.
  • What measures does the company take to prevent land contamination and pollution? For example, it could clean your premises after collection to prevent dangerous substances from leaking into the ground. Moreover, it could recycle recyclable waste and ensure the rest ends in approved landfills.  

Inquire About The Conditions Of The Contract

If you are satisfied with the company's reputation, examine its contract conditions. For example, what guarantees does the company provide its clients? First, the company must be adequately insured. This way, you do not bear liability if an employee suffers an injury on your premises or if a third party sues the company for negligence. The company must also guarantee to collect the waste on time. If it cannot, you should receive a notice to ensure you have adequate time to make rubbish collection arrangements. Alternatively, the company could subcontract collection services. Finally, check and negotiate the company's pricing.
