Common questions
Do you only work on events?
No. Events are a specialty, but the same approach is used for venues, hospitality groups, schools and universities, healthcare clinics and commercial buildings on ongoing contracts.
Do you collect the waste yourselves?
The Waste Network designs the system and manages the collection network, including oversight of the contractors on site, so you deal with one partner rather than several.
Can you help with ESG and sustainability reporting?
Yes. Waste is tracked and reported through live dashboards, so diversion rates and volumes can be used directly in ESG reporting.
What is a waste audit?
A physical check of what is in your bins and how the site handles it. The audit sets the baseline for bin numbers, signage, collection frequency and the diversion targets that follow.
