Supporting Kent’s Summer Events with Sustainable Waste Solutions
At CDDL Recycling, we love working with businesses, organisations, and local councils throughout the year — but there’s something special about event season. Sunny weekends, buzzing crowds, and incredible community spirit make for the perfect backdrop to do what we do best: keeping events clean, compliant, with sustainable waste solutions.
This past weekend, we were proud to provide full waste management services for three fantastic events across Kent:
- 🎪 Shurland Meadows Weekend Event
- 🏃♂️ The Bubble Run at Mote Park in aid of Demelza Hospice
- 🌞 Herne Bay’s Summer Vibes Festival
Each event had its own unique audience, atmosphere, and waste requirements — but all shared the same goal: keeping things tidy and eco-friendly.
Why Event Waste Management Matters
Whether it’s a festival, charity fun run, or food and drink fair, public events generate large volumes of waste in a short space of time — food packaging, compostables, drinks cans, plastic bottles, and more.
Without the right waste plan in place, this can lead to:
- Overflowing bins and litter complaints
- Poor hygiene and safety issues
- Environmental damage
- Frustrated guests and poor PR for organisers
That’s where our team comes in.
We provide comprehensive event waste solutions that are tailored to the size and style of each event. From delivery to disposal, we handle it all — responsibly, sustainably, and with minimal disruption.
How CDDL Supported Each Event
Let’s take a closer look at how we supported each event last weekend, and the services we provided:
🎪 Shurland Meadows Weekend Event – A Family Festival Experience
Set in beautiful surroundings, Shurland Meadows hosted a vibrant mix of live music, food stalls, games, and camping. With hundreds of families attending over multiple days, waste management needed to be efficient and unobtrusive.
Our solution:
- Delivery and positioning of general and recycling bins throughout the site
- Lockable bins to prevent overnight contamination and windblown waste
- Flexible pickup times to keep the site looking tidy between festival days
- Post-event sweep and waste removal
Outcome:
The event remained clean throughout the weekend, and the organisers praised our team’s quick response and professional setup. Festival-goers were able to enjoy a spotless site, and organisers avoided the usual Monday morning cleanup stress.
🏃♂️ Mote Park Bubble Run – Supporting Demelza Hospice
A charity run full of foam, colour, and laughter — the Bubble Run in Mote Park brought in crowds of families and runners, all raising money for Demelza Hospice Care for Children.
Events like this often generate one-off waste spikes at registration points, food stalls, and post-run zones, which need to be managed carefully.
Our solution:
- On-site bins for recyclable materials, general waste, and food compostables
- Staffed support during peak footfall hours to monitor bin usage
- Responsible segregation of recyclable materials post-event
- Donation of time and services to support the cause
Outcome:
With minimal litter and maximum smiles, this event was a perfect example of community collaboration. We were proud to play a small part in supporting Demelza and helping the event stay clean and green.
🌞 Herne Bay Summer Vibes – Seafront Sustainability
The coast came alive with live music, food trucks, beach activities, and entertainment for all ages. As with any large-scale seafront event, controlling waste before it hits the promenade or beach is essential.
Our solution:
- Placement of bins at key pedestrian flow points
- Lockable units to keep seagulls and wildlife out
- Coastal-safe waste transport to prevent environmental harm
- Rapid removal after event close to leave no trace behind
Outcome:
The event was a huge success with clean streets, a happy local council, and positive feedback from local residents who appreciated the clean-up efforts. Our team worked swiftly to keep the area litter-free without disrupting the fun.
