Ecology for Races

Hiring Our Ecology Team For Racing Events

Many races these days promote themselves as being "ecologically friendly." While this is a great way to get people interested in the race, it is important to make sure that the race is actually living up to its claims. There are a few things that you can look for to see if a race is truly eco-friendly. First, see if the race uses recycled materials for things like race bibs and water bottles. Second, look at the route of the race. Is it on trails or roads? Trails are often much better for the environment because they don't require as much machinery or maintenance. Finally, see if the race offers to compost or recycle at the finish line. By taking these things into consideration, you can be sure that you are supporting a truly eco-friendly race.

Have Plenty Of Garbage Cans On Hand

The amount of garbage cans needed for an event will vary depending on the size and length of the event. For a small, one-day event, you may only need 1-2 garbage cans. However, for a large, multi-day event, you may need 50 or more garbage cans. The best way to determine how many garbage cans you need is to estimate the amount of trash that will be generated during the event. Once you have an estimate, add an additional 20-30% to account for waste that may not be able to be disposed of in a garbage can (e.g., food scraps, cigarettes, etc.). If you are still unsure, it is better to err on the side of caution and have too many garbage cans than not enough. Having extra garbage cans will not only help to keep your event clean and tidy, but it will also prevent overflow and spills.

Hire An Ecology Crew

Racing events are high-impact and generate a lot of waste. While some of this waste can be recycled or reused, a significant portion of it is ultimately destined for landfill. This is why it is important for racing event organizers to hire an onsite ecology team to manage waste responsibly. An experienced team will be able to develop and implement an effective waste management plan that minimizes the amount of waste generated and maximizes recycling and reuse. This will not only help to reduce the environmental impact of the event, but also save money on disposal costs. By working with an experienced team, racing event organizers can ensure that their event is as sustainable as possible.

Use the right type of containers

At any racing event, there are bound to be a lot of waste products generated. From food wrappers to empty water bottles, managing the event's waste can be a challenge. However, using the right type of waste containers can help to make the task easier. For example, deploying a mix of small and large bins can help to keep things tidy. Smaller bins can be placed near food vendors for easy access, while larger bins can be placed at strategic locations around the grounds for attendees to use as needed. Additionally, using clear or brightly-colored bins can help to increase visibility and discourage littering. By taking these simple steps, event organizers can help to make their race a success while also minimizing its environmental impact.
