Waste separation
at sports clubs and canteens
In the sports world, recycling is often overlooked. Separating waste at your sports club or gym is not only great for the environment, but it also saves energy and helps combat global warming.
Waste separation at sports clubs and canteens
Sports clubs and canteens produce a variety of waste streams. Every day, items like snack containers, drink cartons, plastic bottles, and deodorant cans are thrown away. An average-sized sports club generates around 400 kg of waste per year and because much of it consists of lightweight plastic, that adds up to thousands of bottles, wrappers, and takeaway containers.
Without proper waste collection bins, much of this trash ends up as litter on the field, in locker rooms, or in the parking lot. However, many of these materials can be recycled into new products. By separating waste at the source, fewer new raw materials and less energy are needed, and less residual waste goes to incineration.
Sports clubs as role models for sustainability
Beyond the environmental benefits, sports organizations have a unique opportunity to set an example. A sports club is a community where people of all ages and backgrounds come together. By implementing a waste management system, you show responsibility and encourage members, players, and visitors to adopt eco-friendly habits, not just at the club but in their daily lives.

Better waste separation at your sportsclub
Identify your club’s main waste streams
Different waste types exist within sports clubs. Before selecting your waste sorting bins, analyze what types of waste are most commonly produced at your club.
Choose the right compartments for your waste bins
Modular waste bins allow you to customize compartments based on your club’s needs. If your sports facility has a canteen, a food waste bin might be essential. If disposable water cups are used in locker rooms, a cup collection bin could be useful.
Want to make it even more effective? Personalized bins with club logos or fun, engaging prints can encourage members, especially children, to separate waste correctly.
Reduce unnecessary waste at the club
Minimizing waste helps lower waste disposal fees and improves sustainability. Small changes can lead to a big environmental impact and lower costs for the club.
Organize a waste awareness week
Raising awareness is key to successful waste separation. Organize an annual waste and recycling week to involve all members:
- A points system for children who correctly dispose of their waste
- Guest speakers to educate members on recycling
- Posters and signage around the club to promote waste separation
By actively involving members, staff, and visitors, your club can make waste separation a natural habit.
