Built for live environments

Events and venues are complex, fast-moving environments. Waste systems need to work in real time – not just on paper.

Our Site Services team manages both cleaning and waste operations as one integrated system. The result is better site control, improved presentation, and stronger environmental outcomes.

We don’t just collect waste.

We run proven systems that perform under pressure.

How our site services work

1. Plan the system

We design a tailored waste and cleaning system for your site — including bin infrastructure, material streams, servicing and logistics.

2. Operate on the ground

Our trained team manages cleaning, bin infrastructure and waste separation in real time — front and back of house.

3. Capture more material

We separate multiple waste streams to maximise recovery and reduce contamination, including:

  • Co-mingled recycling
  • Cardboard & paper
  • Organics
  • Containers (CDS)
  • Coffee cups (Simply Cups)
  • General waste

4. Report and improve

You receive clear reporting on volumes, diversion rates and system performance — helping you improve outcomes over time.

Why Closed Loop?

Most waste contractors focus on collecting bins. We focus on making your event run smoothly.

By integrating cleaning and waste management into one coordinated system, we maintain control of the site, avoid gaps in service, and keep everything looking as it should throughout the event.

Our setups are tailored to your layout, crowd and vendors — not a one-size-fits-all approach — and our experienced teams are used to working in live environments where things change quickly. They actively manage waste on the ground, helping reduce contamination and prevent issues before they escalate.

Beyond the event itself, we ensure materials are actually recovered through real processing pathways, not just collected and sent offsite. And with clear, practical reporting, you can confidently show stakeholders what was achieved and where you can improve next time.

Venue waste management

The processes and services of your venue need to be understood for effective sustainable venue waste management. Our team is experienced in servicing a range of dynamic venues.

Our venue waste management services can include bin hire, staffing, waste management, ongoing improvement on waste diversion and sustainable venue recommendations to align with your venue’s functions.

Waste management reports

Clear reporting, not guesswork

We provide detailed reporting on waste volumes, diversion rates and system performance.

This allows you to:

  • Track progress against sustainability targets

  • Demonstrate outcomes to stakeholders

  • Identify opportunities to improve

  • Make informed operational decisions
