How Event Planners Can Benefit From a Dumpster Rental

How event planners can benefit from a dumpster rental

A large part of event planning that many people are unaware of, or perhaps just do not consider, is the waste management side of the gathering. 

This includes things like the right amount of trash and recycling receptacles placed around the venue, as well as portable toilets for people to use over and above what the venue has to offer if necessary. 

As well, there is a logistical side to this issue, including coordinating the delivery and removal of side items and the post-event clean-up. 

Fortunately, partnering with the right junk removal company can make this part of the event a breeze and one less thing to worry about.

What type of waste do you expect?

One of the first things you should consider is what kind of waste you expect to be generated during the gathering. This is, of course, often dictated by the event itself, but it will have an impact on what type of dumpsters and services you require.

For example, cooking oil and food waste are handled differently from cardboard and paper products. Also, drink receptacles and general waste need to be separated from each other.

Thus, reaching out to your preferred dumpster provider can be a huge asset as they can help you plan out what type of bin is needed, as well as the right size or amount of bins for the event.

Considering Environmental Concerns

Recycling and other environmental undertakings are everywhere these days. As an event planner, this is an issue that may seem small and trivial, but will get noticed if it is not addressed.

Making sure that you have the right receptacles so that your guests can correctly dispose of recyclable materials is one important thing to consider. However, having the right method of emptying these receptacles so that they can actually make it to the recycling depot is another matter altogether.

Luckily, your dumpster rental company can make light work of this for you so that you do not need to worry about such tasks.

Understanding Bin Placement

Making sure the dumpsters are in the right place for ease of use by event staff does not always mean that they are hidden away from event attendees, and this can cause an issue. 

You need to be able to have the dumpsters available to staff, but kept away from the crowds. The bins need to be functional, but without disrupting the overall aesthetic of the event. The dumpsters also need to be located in an area where they can be quickly delivered and then picked up again afterward.

So, how do you navigate this issue without pulling out your hair? Your bin rental team can assess the various factors involved and then provide the answers. For instance, by knowing all the dimensions for the trucks and the dumpsters, they can easily come to the site and walk it around with you, then listen to your vision, and fit the bins neatly.

Time and Effort-Savers

Large social events can generate a huge amount of waste, and this can lead to an even bigger pile of garbage bags that can split, rip, and then spill out all over the floor. If food is involved, then you may have to deal with pests—even for a one-night-only event, you would be surprised at who (or what) gatecrashes! 

With professional dumpster rentals, you can streamline the garbage removal process with strategically placed bins throughout the gathering. This way, the staff can quickly empty the trash cans and prevent a messy build-up. This keeps the event clean and saves time at the end of the day.

Coordinated Clean-Ups

Dumpster rental companies work best when you effectively communicate your needs with them. This allows both of you to effectively coordinate the clean-up and the removal of the used dumpsters.

With a skilled clean-up crew on hand along with the staff from the bin rental company, not only can the event be easily cleaned as it happens, but it can also be finalized and cleaned up at light speed at the end.

The dumpster can then be efficiently removed based on your schedule so no waste is left behind, which can lead to penalties depending on the venue and the local bylaws.

Choosing the Right Dumpster for the Job

As you start talking to the bin rental company, you will need to let them know the following factors:

  • Is the event located indoors or outdoors?
  • The approximate number of expected guests.
  • Is it a free gathering or a ticketed event?
  • What type of signage can be provided? 

Indoor events are in many ways much easier to coordinate and require fewer bins. On the other hand, outdoor events are trickier to handle.

For example, depending on the overall scale of the outdoor event, you may require several bins placed in multiple places. To accommodate this process, you may need a number of additional smaller bins so your guests do not have to frequently use the dumpsters.

You can also divide up the bins between regular trash and recycling items. To make this job simpler for guests and staff alike, signs are a great resource. While you may need to create your own signs, this will allow for an easier day.
