Events leave litter and debris over a wide area in a short time, and the roads usually need to be back in use quickly. A sweeper follows the litter-picking teams and finishes the hard surfaces.
Typical sweeping work
- Car parks and access roads before the gates open
- Concourses and hard-standing areas between event days
- Road closures after parades, races and street events
- Clearing public roads around a venue after the crowd leaves
- Final clean at the end of a hire or tenancy
What to plan for
Give us the event timetable and the time by which roads must reopen. Sweepers work best once bulky litter has been picked, so tell us how the clean-up is organised. Most event sweeping happens at night or early morning, and capacity for those shifts is limited, so book early.
Regular and multi-site work
Venues with a season of fixtures or shows can book the whole calendar in one go under nationwide contract sweeping. See also out-of-hours road sweeping.
Other services for the same site
Event waste collections, wheelie bins, skips, portable toilets and welfare facilities are available through Waste Cloud. See supporting services.
