What waste management does a Melbourne outdoor cinema need?

Design outdoor-cinema waste collection around the booked programme, vendors and site access. Do not assume every cinema operates the same season or produces the same waste per guest.

What to check

1. Ask vendors what packaging they will use and confirm acceptance before designing patron stations.
2. Plan litter checks after each session, including windy weather and areas beyond the seating.
3. Agree presentation and collection around gates, public access and the final site handback.
4. Keep any container-return stream limited to items accepted by its chosen scheme and document receipts before reporting income.
