Sustainable Events Program

Shaping a new era of sustainable events

Our Sustainable Events Program (SEP) combines cleaning, waste management and on-site sorting into one plan, so your event cuts landfill without slowing anyone down. It's designed to reach landfill diversion of 95% or more, and every event finishes with a report on what was collected and where it went.

Hospitality is a big part of our Adelaide work, with pubs, hotels and clubs across the region. We look after single venues and large multi-site hospitality groups across South Australia.

Venue event nights are where a cleaning plan gets tested. Our Adelaide team knows how to clean around service and hand the floor back ready for the next trade.

For sporting venues, see our match-day stadium cleaning guide.

Amenities and toilets

We can run roving amenity servicing or place dedicated attendants at busy toilet blocks, depending on the crowd and the layout.

Waste and recycling for Adelaide events

Venues and event approvals increasingly ask for a waste plan. We map out the streams you need (general waste, recycling, organics, cardboard, glass, containers and waste oil), confirm what each processor will accept, keep the streams clean during the event and report on the results.

South Australia has run its container deposit scheme for a long time, and most people know the 10c refund on eligible bottles and cans. If your event sells a lot of drinks, a separate containers stream is worth planning from the start.

One tip: not every organics processor takes "compostable" plates or bamboo cutlery, so check before vendors order. How to plan event waste and recycling

Adelaide events: what we plan for

Adelaide's busiest event season runs through summer and autumn, when festivals, outdoor events and sport fill the parklands and venues. Many events share precincts and run back to back, so quick turnarounds and overnight resets are part of the plan. South Australia's long-running container deposit scheme makes a containers stream worthwhile at drink-heavy events.
