Overview

The Sun Herald City2Surf is a much-loved annual running festival in Sydney, drawing participants and spectators from all over. It is a significant running event in Sydney, concluding at the iconic Bondi Beach.

Managing waste and maintaining cleanliness in such a popular location presents unique challenges. Clean Vibes was tasked with overseeing the logistics and waste management for The Sun Herald City2Surf, with the primary focus on its finish line zone at Bondi Beach.

Solution

Clean Vibes' approach to City2Surf included:

  • Logistics Management: Using cranes to set up skips and waste infrastructure on Bondi Beach before the event began.
  • Pre-Event Setup: Ensuring all waste management systems were in place before the first runners crossed the finish line.
  • On-Site Waste Monitoring: Deploying staff to monitor waste streams throughout the event to ensure recyclable materials were properly sorted and directed away from landfills.
  • Continuous Cleaning: Engaging cleaners to maintain cleanliness and manage waste during and after the event.
