In cooperation with our disposal partner, Remondis, we will set up decentralised disposal stations/collection points on the exhibition grounds, consisting of 36 cbm large-capacity containers, where the various materials/types of paper from the production of the exhibits can be disposed of by type, depending on the material quality.

These disposal stations/collection points are supervised by our waste disposal service personnel, each delivery of materials is documented in terms of quantity and quality, the exhibitor receives a disposal report and can thus fully and transparently track the disposal service provided at the end of the event.

Handling of the waste disposal service:

The exhibitor must organise the transport of his production waste from the exhibit/accumulation point in the exhibition hall to the large-capacity containers provided.

Either he transports these paper materials himself, or he commissions (our recommendation) one of our trade fair forwarding agents (Schenker/Kühne und Nagel) to transport the production waste from the exhibits to the large-capacity containers in the outdoor area.

To collect the materials/paper materials at the exhibit, the trade fair forwarders can provide the exhibitor with so-called lattice boxes with forklift pockets so that these can be picked up with hand pallet trucks from the exhibition hall and outside with a forklift truck with a special rotating crane device and transported to the disposal stations.

The fee includes the following services:
- Provision of a sufficient number of rubbish bags for the duration of the event.
- Collection of the rubbish bag provided by the exhibitor at the stand at the end of the event day
- Disposal of the above-mentioned rubbish bags
- Subsequent delivery of refuse sacks if required.
