Emergency Bins For Reepham Music Festival

When you’re organising a music festival, there are plenty of things you want to be thinking about: performers, visitors, food, drink, entertainment and making sure everyone has a brilliant day.

What you probably don’t want to be worrying about at the last minute is bins.

That’s exactly where Marshalls came in when the team behind Reepham Music Festival needed additional waste capacity at short notice.

A last-minute request for festival bins

With the festival approaching, the organisers needed emergency bins to help manage the additional waste generated by visitors, traders and activity across the event.

And they needed them quickly. Marshalls was contacted to see whether we could help. Within 3 days, we had arranged and delivered the additional commercial bins required for the festival.

More than simply dropping off the bins

Getting the bins onto site was only one part of the job.

Once the festival was over, Marshalls returned to remove the waste from the site and collect the hired bins, giving the organisers a complete temporary waste solution rather than leaving them to coordinate different suppliers for bins, collections and disposal.

For an event organiser, that means one less operational headache to deal with.

We delivered the bins, managed the waste and took the bins away again when they were no longer needed.

Flexible waste management when plans change

Events don't always fit neatly into standard commercial waste contracts.

You might need significantly more capacity for a weekend, an additional collection because attendance is higher than expected, or bins delivered at short notice because circumstances have changed.

That’s why flexibility is such an important part of the way we work at Marshalls.

We work with a network of waste collection and disposal partners, which means we can look for the solution that works for the customer rather than being restricted to one vehicle, one collection route or one timetable.

In the case of Reepham Music Festival, that meant responding to an urgent request and getting bins onto the site within 24 hours.

Supporting events in our local community

As a Norfolk business, it was particularly nice to be able to step in and support a local event. Reepham Music Festival brings people together in the heart of the community, supporting live music and giving people another reason to visit and enjoy the town.

Our contribution might not have been the most glamorous part of the festival - nobody buys a ticket because they're excited about the bins - but good waste management is one of those things that helps an event run smoothly behind the scenes.

And when the music stops and everyone heads home, somebody still has to deal with what gets left behind. That’s where we come in.
