Sussex Transport & Rabbit Waste Management successfully worked with the recent Wildlife Festival at Shoreham Airport
Sussex Transport commented We were delighted to have been given the opportunity to work with the contractors on site for the inaugural WILDLIFE festival based at Brighton City Airport in Shoreham last weekend. ( June 6th & 7th)
The festival saw around 35,000 visitors to the site each day of the weekend – many of whom came from all over the UK to watch such acts as Rudimental, Disclosure and George Ezra perform.
It has been reported that the weekend was a resounding success and provided a huge boost for the local economy as the two day festival meant many of the 35,000 visitors were booking into hotels and using local business for food and drink etc – it really put Shoreham (and surrounding) on the map!
With only 15 arrests reported over the entire weekend and only 18 public complaints logged on Saturday evening – and no traffic issues whatsoever – infact some locals commented that the event caused less disruption to the town than the annual Shoreham Airshow – it would seem that the WILDLIFE festival was a resounding success. And plans for 2016 event are already being talked about...
Rabbit Waste Management commented "The work we did on the festival site – moving containers with one of our crane mounted HIAB lorries went without a hitch and we would be happy to help again next year. Rabbit Waste Management have been involved in the waste service planning for the Wildlife Music Festival for some weeks, this meant that when the event took place, the planning paid off.
Rabbit worked primarily with the event cleaning company by supplying bulk containers, skips and dustcart services both during and after the event, with all of the waste collected coming back to our Lancing facility for recycling or energy recovery – making the music festival an almost zero-to-landfill event.
It was a great and well organised event and we look forward to working with Wildlife Music Festival again next year”
