Cleanup After Community Events: How Brantford Keeps Things Tidy

Brantford is known for its lively community spirit and year-round events—from the International Villages Cultural Festival to Brantford Ribfest and countless sports tournaments, parades, and seasonal fairs. These events bring people together, showcase local talent, and generate economic activity—but they also create one big, shared challenge: waste.

So how does the city handle the massive amount of trash, debris, and recyclables that follow these festivities? And what can event organizers and residents do to help?

Events That Generate the Most Waste in Brantford

You might not think about waste management while enjoying a food truck taco or watching fireworks over the Grand River, but some local events can generate thousands of pounds of garbage in just a weekend.

• Brantford International Villages Festival – Spread across 15+ cultural pavilions, this celebration of global cuisine and heritage brings in huge crowds and creates tons of paper plates, cans, and food waste.
• Brantford Ribfest – A popular summer staple, but between ribs, beer cups, and food packaging, cleanup is no small feat.
• Canada Day at Lions Park – With live music, vendors, and fireworks, this event generates both crowd energy and trash volume.
• Walter Gretzky Street Hockey Tournament & Other Sports Events – Large crowds = full garbage bins.

How Does Brantford Handle Event Waste?

The City of Brantford, in coordination with event organizers, typically handles waste through:

• Temporary waste stations with garbage, recycling, and sometimes compost bins
• Post-event cleanup crews staffed by the city or volunteers
• Contracted bin rental services for large-scale events requiring bulk waste removal
• Street sweepers and parks maintenance within 24–48 hours post-event

Still, when the volume is high—or the turnaround time is tight—private bin rentals like those from DumpsterDax fill the gap.
