Are you organising an event in Canberra and need a simple way to handle waste? We provide skip bin hire services for events of all sizes. Whether it’s a community festival, a corporate function, or a private party, we can help you keep your event clean and green.
Why Hire a Skip Bin for Events?
Hiring a skip bin makes managing waste during and after your event easy and effective, saving you hassle in the long run. Unlike standard wheelie bins, skip bins have the capacity to handle much larger amounts of waste, making them a more practical choice. You might be surprised how much event waste piles up! Here are some other reasons why you should consider hiring a skip bin for your next event:
Environmentally Friendly Disposal
Angel Waste sorts and recycles as much of the collected waste as possible, which means your event has a lower environmental impact. For example, we separate recyclables like paper, cardboard, and plastics from general waste. We also ensure that items like glass bottles and aluminium cans are sent to recycling facilities. This careful sorting process helps reduce landfill waste and supports sustainability.
Simple Post-Event Clean-Up
Events can produce a lot of waste, especially when food and drinks are served. Without a plan, clean-up can take a lot of time and effort. With a skip bin, you just put all your waste in the bin, and we take care of the rest. This saves you from making multiple trips taking rubbish to the tip. Instead, you can just dispose of all the rubbish on-site in one go. Rest assured we’ll take care of the rest. This not only saves time but also reduces the stress of dealing with waste after the event.
Safe and Clean Event Site
A clean event is a safe event. Overflowing bins can cause accidents and health risks. Our skip bins provide a designated spot for waste, reducing clutter and hazards like broken glass and trip hazards. Broken glass and sharp objects are safely contained, preventing injuries to guests and staff. By keeping the event area tidy, you also create a more pleasant environment for attendees, enhancing their overall experience.
Types of Events That Need Skip Hire
Some events produce a lot of waste and are perfect for skip bin hire:
- Music festivals and concerts: These events attract large crowds and often result in significant waste from food vendors, drinks, and promotional materials.
- Large family gatherings: Events like family reunions or milestone celebrations can generate a lot of waste, especially when catering is involved.
- Corporate events and retreats: Corporate functions often involve catering, decorations, and promotional items that can create a substantial amount of waste.
- Sporting events and competitions: These events can produce waste from food stands, drinks, and merchandise sales.
- Community markets and fairs: Stalls selling food, crafts, and other items generate considerable waste, making skip bins a practical solution.
- School events: Fairs, sports days, and other school activities can create a large amount of waste that needs efficient disposal.
- Wedding receptions and big parties: Large celebrations with many guests typically generate a lot of waste from food, drinks, and decorations.
- Trade shows and conventions: These events often involve large displays, giveaways, and catering, all of which can produce a lot of waste.
Do You Need to Hire a Green Waste Skip Bin As Well?
If your event involves food, consider hiring both a green waste skip bin as well as a general waste skip bin. Separating food waste means it can be composted instead of going to landfill. It also keeps your event site cleaner by minimising odours and pests. No one likes smelly wheelie bins full of food! For example, food scraps, biodegradable plates, and other organic materials can go into the green waste bin at a distance from the main event area, ensuring they’re out of the way and get composted.
Choosing the Right Skip Bin Size
Choosing the right skip size is important. You want to be sure you have enough space but don’t want to end up paying for more than you need. At Angel Waste, we offer a wide range of skip bins to suit different needs. Here are some tips to help you pick the right size skip:
- Small Events: For small gatherings like family reunions or parties, a mini skip (2 cubic metres) is perfect. This skip size can handle the waste generated by a few dozen guests, including disposable plates, cups, and decorations.
- Medium Events: Corporate functions, weddings, or community fairs usually need a 4 cubic metre skip. This size can accommodate waste for up to 100 attendees, including catering waste and packaging materials.
- Large Events: Festivals and large-scale events require larger bins. Our largest skip is 10 cubic metres. These bins can handle large volumes of waste and bulky items. These bins can manage the substantial waste output from thousands of attendees, including banners, stage materials, and large amounts of general waste
Choosing the right size means you won’t have overflow issues or unnecessary costs. If you’re unsure, our friendly team would be happy to help you choose the right size bin. We can assess the expected waste volume based on the number of attendees and the nature of the event, ensuring you get a bin that meets your needs without overspending.
