About the Project:
Creamfields is the North West’s major music festival event and is held over the
August Bank Holiday weekend each year. Hosting over 50,000 visitors in total each
day of the festival, 45,000 of whom camp at the site each night, the event
produced over 500 tonnes of waste over the whole weekend.
A whole range of containers and services were provided to site in the week before
the event, the event days themselves plus the immense post festival clean
up, which took almost 2 weeks to complete.

3. Project Challenges:
In order to operate safely and to ensure that the site was clean and tidy for the start of
each day, our teams worked through the night on the days of the Event itself, with
collections being made during the early hours.
The weather also played a part, with heavy rain causing all sorts of problems for the
vehicles but by using a variety of containers and vehicles, it was possible to clear site of all
the waste within 10 days after the event.
The post event clean up saw all the abandoned tents being cleared from site, along with
tonnes of General Waste and all the waste collected was transported to our nominated
Materials Recycling Facility, where the waste was subjected to a recycling programme to
ensure the maximum amount of waste was recycled or re- used. Plans are already
underway for the 2012 event, where the visitor numbers are expected to increase further.
