Freedom of information response

If you host a festival within your authority, could I ask you to share with me your Council's approach to festival waste concerning the following:

•Is there any prior discussion beforehand with festival organisers regarding how the solid festival waste will be disposed of? (e.g., food and drink packaging including single-use plastics such as bottles, bags and food trays, bulky production waste, wood and set waste, tents and camping equipment).

•Is there any prior discussion beforehand regarding the recycling efforts/targets of the aforementioned waste?

•Does the issue of recycling waste occur in any of the documents/event management plans your authority sends out to the festival organisers?

•Do you think central government should have a policy concerning the recycling of festival waste to assist local authorities with their approach to this subject?

I would like to thank you for taking the time to assist me with my studies and can confirm that any information provided will be confidential. If you can share a copy of your event management plan with me this would be much appreciated.
