EVENT WASTE MANAGEMENT

CASE STUDY


ELVIS FESTIVAL, PORTHCAWL

Avoid a tip, hire a skip - we're the number one!

Case Studies

For over 15 years, we’ve proudly supported the Elvis Festival Porthcawl with reliable and sustainable waste management services. Taking place each September, this iconic five-day event is recognised as Europe’s largest Elvis Presley tribute festival, drawing approximately 40,000 visitors to the South Wales coast every year.

We work in close partnership with Bridgend County Borough Council and the Hi-Tide Inn, one of the festival’s main venues, to deliver a robust and efficient waste solution that keeps Porthcawl clean, safe, and festival-ready throughout the event.We provided:

1 x builders skip

15 x 1100L wheelie bins

1 x Elvis 16 yard enclosed skip

12 x Front End Loader skips

We also offered:

Daily end-of-day bin emptying service

Full post-event waste report

Thanks to our proactive planning and commitment to sustainability, we helped the organisers divert over 90% of waste from landfill, including general waste, plastics, and cardboard. Our local team ensured waste was collected efficiently, contributing to a positive experience for both visitors and the local community.

As one of the UK’s most unique and vibrant music festivals, the Porthcawl Elvis Festival requires a waste partner that understands the scale and complexity of large public events, and we’re proud to deliver just that.

We look forward to supporting this fantastic event again in 2026, continuing our partnership to provide compliant, eco-friendly, and cost-effective waste management solutions.
