Event Waste Management

We have worked with Brown Recycling for a number of years on our waste management and have always been hugely impressed with their professional and efficient service.

We are delighted to welcome them on board as our official Sustainability Partner in 2024, tying in with our increased efforts to ensure the festival has as low a carbon footprint as possible. The Brown Recycling team have been fantastic, drawing on their extensive experience to suggest ways in which we can improve waste management on site to aid effective recycling. The introduction of recycling bins on the festival site will hopefully make it easier for our visitors to do their bit and help with pre-sorting recycling.

Their sponsorship of the reusable pint glasses, meanwhile, is a stroke of genius – visitors can buy a reusable plastic pint or half glass from the first bar they get a drink from then re-use it throughout the day, taking it home as a souvenir at the end of the event if they wish. This should certainly see a huge reduction in the number of plastic glasses being discarded throughout the event

“The staff at Brown Recycling were great, they all got stuck in helping us clear the building out, and they also gave us great advice on the most efficient and sustainable way to dispose of our rubbish in the future.

This will be a partnership we hope to continue even after the renovations are complete.”
