Solution

Clean Vibes deployed a dedicated team to manage the venue cleaning and waste management needs of the Queenscliff Music Festival. Our cleaning services included:

• Comprehensive Bin Coverage: Colour-coded bins for general waste, recycling, and organics were strategically placed throughout the festival grounds to help attendees sort their waste effectively.
• Cleaning Operations: Our team maintained cleanliness across the event space by removing litter, cleaning tables, and ensuring toilet facilities were well-maintained. Both front-of-house (FOH) and back-of-house (BOH) bins were emptied as needed, and cleaning requests were promptly attended to.
• Off-Site Facilities: We also cleaned off-site camping toilets and showers, as well as town hall facilities, ensuring a high standard of hygiene.
• Waste Sorting: Significant time was spent at the waste sorting compound to ensure that all waste was correctly separated from recyclable materials. This involved sorting through waste to maximise recycling efforts and minimise landfill contributions.

Challenges and Adjustments

One of the primary challenges was ensuring that attendees used the correct bins for their waste. Despite clear signage and colour-coded bins, some waste still ended up in the wrong receptacles. To address this, our staff regularly monitored the bins and provided on-the-spot guidance to festival-goers.

Clean Vibes successfully implemented a comprehensive waste management solution for Queenscliff Music Festival. Together with event organisers, we achieved significant sustainability milestones:
