At Ground Up, we specialise in supporting block managers with proactive, reliable waste and maintenance solutions that keep communal areas clean, compliant, and stress-free—especially during high-demand periods like Christmas and New Year.
Here’s how you can prepare your developments and how our team can help ensure efficient, no-fuss waste management after the holidays.
1. Plan Ahead for the Seasonal Surge
Waste volumes increase dramatically after Christmas, with packaging, cardboard, and food waste piling up quickly. We help block managers stay ahead by coordinating with waste contractors to arrange additional collections or temporary waste storage options.
Our team can also conduct a pre-Christmas site review to assess bin capacity, recommend improvements, and ensure everything is ready before the festive break.
2. Ensure Clear Resident Communication
Miscommunication is one of the biggest causes of waste build-up. We can help you draft and distribute resident notices or digital bulletins outlining:
- Updated bin collection dates over the holidays
- What can and can’t be recycled (especially wrapping paper, plastics, and boxes)
- How to dispose of bulky waste and Christmas trees
Clear, timely messaging keeps residents informed and reduces contamination, keeping your bin stores tidy and compliant.
3. Specialist Collections and Bulky Waste Removal
After Christmas, many residents need to dispose of large cardboard boxes, old furniture, or real Christmas trees. Our maintenance teams can coordinate or carry out one-off bulky waste collections, ensuring these items don’t block access routes or overflow general waste bins.
We also partner with licensed waste carriers to ensure all materials are disposed of responsibly and in line with environmental regulations.
4. On-Site Support for Waste and Maintenance
For larger developments or those with limited storage space, we offer on-site waste management support. Our operatives can:
- Rotate and compact bins for maximum efficiency
- Clear any overflow promptly
- Keep bin stores clean, safe, and pest-free
By maintaining a visible presence on-site during the busiest periods, we help you prevent problems before they escalate.
5. Post-Holiday Review and Recommendations
Once the festive period is over, we provide a full waste management review to help you plan for next year. This includes feedback on bin usage, collection efficiency, and resident engagement—enabling you to make informed adjustments to improve performance year after year.
