Resource Efficiency in Events and Festivals

STEP 5: Preparation

Fail to prepare, prepare to fail! Plan everything well in advance and allow for last minute changes.

Tip! Build a good team. Local businesses, stall holders, volunteers, kids, local authority staff, Master Composters, Tidy Towns people, your cousins - and anybody else you can get!

Tip!
Allow for bad weather. Are your volunteers dressed for the rain?

Tip! Is everybody well informed and trained on what to do? Not only your team, but the waste contractors, the management committee, attendees and everybody involved. Make sure they are.
