Most event cleaning stops at the bins. Ours starts there.

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.

Event day timeline
01
Before
Site walk, staffing plan, bins and amenities ready before gates open
02
During
Roving teams, toilets serviced, bins emptied before they overflow
03
After
Full reset, waste cleared, handback walk-through and report
Crowds judge an event by what they see: full bins, toilet queues, litter on the grass. We plan for those moments before the gates open, with a staffing plan matched to the crowd, clear waste streams and a named event lead on the radio all day. When the last guest leaves, we reset the site and hand it back as agreed with the venue.
Multi-day programs: an overnight reset so day two looks like day one.

For sporting venues, see our match-day stadium cleaning guide.
Amenities and toilets
We can station attendants at busy toilet blocks or run roving amenity checks, depending on the site and the crowd.
Waste and recycling for Sydney events
Venues and event approvals increasingly ask for a waste plan, and many organisers set their own diversion targets. We map the streams (general waste, co-mingled recycling, organics, cardboard, containers and cooking oil), confirm what each processor will take, keep contamination down during the event and report the weights at the end.
In NSW, Return and Earn means eligible drink containers can be kept in their own stream and returned for a refund. If your bars will move a lot of cans and bottles, it's worth building that stream into the plan.
A tip from our event work: not every organics processor accepts "compostable" plates or bamboo cutlery. Confirm it before vendors place their orders. Planning waste and recycling for an event
Sydney events: what we plan for
Sydney events range from harbourside and foreshore festivals to stadium fixtures, Parramatta and western Sydney community events, and venue functions across the inner west. Foreshore and park sites need careful litter control near the water and strict pack-down times, so roving teams and fast resets are planned in. NSW's Return and Earn scheme makes a separate containers stream worthwhile at drink-heavy events.
