Cleaning
We will have a full waste management operation and team onsite working hard to achieve an eco - friendly, environmentally sustainable event. We will work throughout the shows to ensure that exhibitor, kitchen and public areas are clear from the build up of waste. We ask that you support us by allocating your own staff to clean and tidy your area to ensure all visitors receive the same experience. We are committed to recycling as much waste generated by the event as possible, so please ensure that your waste is separated and all of your staff use the bins allocated. For further information on this, please refer to our Onsite Waste Management Policy Page.
