Up-cycled Workshops for Young & Creative Adults
More Bins are running eco-workshops teaching individuals how to make Bags, Wallets, Coasters and Place Mats out of recovered waste materials collected from the event industry.
How it works
Last summer More Bins collected and recovered over 400 broken camping chairs and a dozen abandoned tents from the events we worked with.
We stripped the seat cover and arms of the chairs, recycled the metal and cleaned the recovered material. This provided us with good quality colourful material to up-cycle into reusable personalised waterproof bags and wallets.
The tents were also stripped of their fittings and cut into manageable pieces to use as a liner for the new bags and wallets.
Our reuse team has now created a range of products and templates to support a creative workshop environment available to 8 years and over age group.
We will provide support staff, materials and equipment for a workshop which could accommodate up to a dozen hand cranked sewing machines. Along with this we can supply a variety of looms for weaving rugs, coasters and place mats from surplus material collected from the event industry. All this can be achieved without the need for electric hook up and allowing us to locate anywhere on site.
The workshop would also encourage event visitors to bring their broken chairs to us so that they can be stripped down and turned into a new product.
Resource Management and More
More Bins have a dedicated team of professionals who are passionate about reducing waste to landfill, up-cycling and recycling waste resources generated by an event.
In addition to providing creative workshops the More Bins team can also provide your event with a post event clean up team, who will clear the site of any materials which may have a re-useable value and can be up-cycled.
We could also partner up with a local charity for taking on the surplus camping equipment left behind or even organise a post event workshop for clearing and stripping down chairs and tents.
More Bins are fully insured, CRB checked and comply with Regulations 12 of the waste Regulations 2012 act which requires all businesses to prove they have looked at all reuse options before disposal of the waste generated from the business activity.

More Bins can help your event separate, collect and recover the following materials typically generated by an outdoor camping music event.
