A Halloween Horror Story? Keep Your Waste Under Control!

Halloween is a great opportunity for pubs, restaurants, cafés, shops, offices and residential developments to get into the spooky spirit. But overflowing bins, discarded decorations, food waste and messy communal areas can quickly turn the celebrations into a Halloween horror story!

Whether you’re a business owner planning Halloween festivities or a property manager responsible for keeping a development looking its best, a little planning can make all the difference.

Four tips for a fright-free Halloween

1. Plan for extra waste

Halloween events and themed promotions can generate more packaging, food waste and general rubbish than usual. Make sure you have enough bin capacity and suitable collection arrangements to keep everything under control.

2. Keep recycling separate

Cardboard packaging, recyclable containers and food waste should be separated into the appropriate waste streams. Clear bin labels can help staff, visitors and residents get it right.

3. Keep communal areas looking their best

For property managers and managing agents, overflowing bin stores, discarded decorations and unwanted items can quickly spoil the appearance of a development. Regular collections, clear instructions and timely waste clearances can help keep shared areas clean, tidy and welcoming.

4. Don’t leave the clear-up until the morning after!

From Halloween parties and business promotions to seasonal events, think ahead about what will be left behind. If you need additional bins or a one-off clearance, arranging it in advance can save a lot of last-minute hassle.
