Great question! Managing waste at a festival is crucial for both guest experience and environmental responsibility. For a large festival, I highly recommend looking into commercial-grade, heavy-duty trash bins with a minimum capacity of 50-100 gallons. These are often called "toter" bins or commercial roll carts. They are durable, often wheeled for easy movement, and have secure lids to contain odors and prevent scattering.
For high-traffic areas, consider multiple units or even designated waste stations that pair a large trash bin with an equally large recycling bin. Look for models made from robust materials like polyethylene, which resist weather and are easy to clean. Don't forget to factor in logistics—ensure you have a plan for frequent emptying by the local waste management service to prevent overflow. Proper placement, clear signage, and a sufficient number of bins are just as important as the bin's size itself for keeping your festival grounds clean.
