Many times, an event planner has overlooked waste management and is left with the unpleasant task of removing it themselves. The solution is simple; arrange for a suitably-sized skip to be delivered as soon as the event has finished, and the participants have all gone their separate ways.

You cannot help it. What you can help with is preparing for the same so that when the garbage comes out, it is properly stored and disposed of in an effective manner.

Range of Skip Sizes

Most corporate events generate waste largely from food and drink; plastic utensils and paper cups are certainly going to be included, which can all be bagged up and dropped into the skip. If there is a concealed area where you can have the empty skip located, so much the better, otherwise bag everything up and keep it out of sight until the event is over. It is essential to keep all waste out of sight while the event is in progress, and a small skip is an ideal way to do this.
