Waste Disposal

It is compulsory for the exhibitor or the stand builder to order a pre-determined amount of waste control services in advance of arriving onsite. Unmanaged waste will no longer be permitted.   

  • Safety and Accessibility: The gangways at our shows have become overly obstructed, increasing the risk of accidents during the build phase.  Unmanaged waste poses a number of safety risks, including injury, increased threat of fire, blocks fire exits and hinders access for medical teams in emergencies. 

  • Stakeholder Feedback: Stakeholder feedback has told us that unmanaged waste causes congested aisles, unsatisfactory working conditions and delays to stands being constructed.  

  • Environmental Efficiency: Fira has the capability to manage and separate waste in a more environmentally efficient way, aligning with our sustainability goals. 

  • Measuring Impact: We aim to measure our environmental impact more closely to enhance the sustainability of our shows and we are only able to do this if we have a better insight on what is actually disposed of. 

Please see the below for minimum order requirements based on stand size:

Size Group 1m3 Build 1m3 Break 240 Build 240 Break Total to Order

Up to 25m2 

0 0 1 1 2

Over 150m2 2 2 0 0 4

 

Order your waste removal services via the ServiFira webshop by Friday 29th November 2024 to guarantee the best rate. Failure to order the required waste removal services ahead of arriving onsite for build-up and breakdown may result in you not being permitted to commence the construction of your stand.

If a large amount of waste needs to be removed, additional m³ waste management or a container must be ordered through ServiFira at an additional cost. The removal of large quantities of waste is not included in the m3 standard waste management and will be invoiced if not ordered. If waste is not management appropriately or timely, further sanctions may apply.

All space only stand must submit a Waste Management Plan. Also your m3 Standard Waste Management Plan Order must be submitted alongside your stand plan submission.

For safety, health and environmental reasons, the tools that produce dust, such as all types of saws, must not be used inside the Fira de Barcelona halls, unless they are equipped with dust holding bags or suction systems designed for this purpose. It is not permitted to use the bathroom sinks for the build-up and breakdown work. The designated industrial sinks must be used for these activities.

Fly tipping, or the dumping of waste illegally instead of using an authorised method, is prohibited. If you are found to have fly tipped your waste within the halls, the lorry ways, or the vicinity of the Venue, fines or sanctions will apply.

At the end of the breakdown period, the contracted surface must be completely clean, which includes removing the adhesive carpet tape and any other material. Any Exhibitors that still have waste will be charged the cost of cleaning and waste removal to restore the conditions of the contracted space.

Fira de Barcelona will deploy waste disposal consultants, who will monitor, identify, and assign waste generated to individual exhibitors and their contractors. The charges for waste removal will then be invoiced directly to the exhibitor/contractor along with any penalty fees.
