Event organisers repeatedly hit the same wall – bins full by 9pm, stewards running around with bin bags, photographs of overflowing waste shared on social media. The fix is rarely more staff; it is the right number of the right bins, placed where people actually throw rubbish away.
Wedding planners need discreet bins that never appear in photographs, placed away from ceremony aisles and reception lines, but emptied between courses so nothing smells in August.
Festival production teams need front-of-house stations that encourage segregation, back-of-house Eurobins that caterers can empty without leaving their pitch, and FEL or roll-on roll-off containers sized for the 10pm peak when everyone leaves at once.
Corporate AV and exhibition teams need bins they can wheel into service corridors at ExCeL and Olympia without tripping breakout-room layouts, then have collected on a schedule that respects the union break rules of the venue.
Any London Waste delivers the right bin fleet for your event, in the right colours, at the right locations, emptied as often as the show pattern demands. We handle everything from 240L kitchen-style bins for a 50-guest wedding to fleets of 60+ 1100L bins with 8-yard FELs for a three-day festival.
| Bin | Capacity | Rough volume | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 240L wheelie | 240 litres | ~4 black bags | Weddings, small markets, back-of-house kitchens |
| 660L wheelie | 660 litres | ~12 black bags | Corporate events, conferences, medium markets |
| 1100L wheelie | 1,100 litres | ~20 black bags | Festivals, sports venues, public park events |
| Recycling station (3–4 stream) | 3× or 4× bins | — | Front-of-house segregation, sponsor visibility |
| FEL / Eurobin | 4 to 8 cubic yards | ~60–120 bags | High-volume festivals, exhibition build-down |
| Roll-on roll-off | 20 to 40 cubic yards | Skip equivalent | Multi-day production waste, major build-ups |
