Top 5 Amberol bins for outdoor summer events
Now that the summer season is in full swing, it’s time to go out and enjoy the festivals, fetes, and community events taking place across the nation.
For organisers, creating a sustainable event is often a top priority. A big step towards achieving this is to provide enough recycling and litter bins with clear signage to capture event waste. By reducing the amount of litter left behind, you can limit the environmental impact of your event whilst ensuring your business or organisation complies with DEFRA’s landmark ‘Simpler Recycling’ reform, which requires most businesses in England to separate their waste into four streams: general waste, paper/card, dry mixed recycling and food waste.
Businesses and organisations that fail to comply risk being issued a notice and penalty fine from the Environment Agency – so it’s best to complete a waste audit and ensure your event offers the correct litter and recycling stations. Find out more about Simpler Recycling reforms in our recent blog.
Do outdoor events such as festivals need to comply with Simpler Recycling?
Yes, according to DEFRA’s latest guidance, festivals and outdoor events are required to comply with the Simpler Recycling legislation.
