Sustainability at a Festival.

Posted on Friday, April 14, 2023

DC Site Services has been vocal in its commitment to sustainability for a number of years, ensuring that any procurement first considers the environmental impact of the product, or service provided.

From our Operations office, where we source recycled stationary options and distribute downloadable material to minimise any paper trail, to each and every event site we visit, being green remains a central part of our company values and ethos.

It is estimated that 1500 plastic bottles are thrown away every second of every day, we’d therefore like to take the opportunity to remind our staff ahead of the festival season that we no longer provide any single-use plastic water bottles or plastic disposable plates/cutlery. As such, we encourage all crew to bring their own refillable bottles and reusable plates and cutlery to help us in our mission to reduce wastage across every event site.

Reduce, reuse, recycle!

I wanted to write personally to say a huge thank you to you and your brilliant team for all your hard work to enable to deliver, in such a short space of time, a wonderful Royal Windsor Horse Show.

When we started the planning, we honestly had no idea whether we could or could not run and had so many changes it must have made it almost impossible for your team – however as always they adapted and overcame the many hurdles that we presented, with a smile and a complete can do attitude and many people are saying that it was one of the best show’s that they have ever been to.

Everybody I have spoken to has said how fantastic the cleaning was and that the loos were immaculate, and the showground looked as good on the last day as it did on the first day – which is exactly what any organiser strives to achieve. Nothing was ever too much trouble and everything was delivered with a smile. Your cleaners were tremendous once again. Even with the date change and the added bonus (!) of COVID everything was delivered on time.
