Washing Reusables On site at Events
Can’t decide if you should wash your reusable cups or food dishes on site?
If you’re running a festival, event or market in Australia or New Zealand, this guide is for you!
Designed for event organisers, bar staff and operations managers, this guide helps you:
Decide if on site washing is right for your event.
Compare different on site washing options.
Real example setups, staff, and costs.
Tips and set up for success.
We’ve been helping events, festivals and markets switch to reusable cups and food dishes since 2018.
Every year we get asked by event organisers:
Should I wash my reusable cups on site?
And how do I go about this: setup, equipment, costs, people?
After washing a few million cups ourselves, we’ve learnt a thing or two so created this guide for you!
