Disposal fee: How must the exhibitor dispose of production waste produced during the event?

For production waste generated during the event runtime, the exhibitor must book the relevant disposal service for the material in the OOS. Billing is based on consumption. (see OOS -> Waste disposal) Please note the specifications and guidelines of Messe Düsseldorf here.

Disposal of production waste

In cooperation with our disposal partner, Remondis, we will set up decentralised disposal stations/collection points on the exhibition grounds, consisting of 36 cbm large-capacity containers, where the various materials/types of paper from the production of the exhibits can be disposed of by type, depending on the material quality.

These disposal stations/collection points are supervised by our waste disposal service personnel, each delivery of materials is documented in terms of quantity and quality, the exhibitor receives a disposal report and can thus fully and transparently track the disposal service provided at the end of the event.

Handling of the waste disposal service:

The exhibitor must organise the transport of his production waste from the exhibit/accumulation point in the exhibition hall to the large-capacity containers provided.

Either he transports these paper materials himself, or he commissions (our recommendation) one of our trade fair forwarding agents (Schenker/Kühne und Nagel) to transport the production waste from the exhibits to the large-capacity containers in the outdoor area.

To collect the materials/paper materials at the exhibit, the trade fair forwarders can provide the exhibitor with so-called lattice boxes with forklift pockets so that these can be picked up with hand pallet trucks from the exhibition hall and outside with a forklift truck with a special rotating crane device and transported to the disposal stations.
