Material Donation
General cleaning services will be provided during the event. However, the disposal of booth system components and advertising materials is not included. Exhibitors are responsible for arranging or ordering their own waste collection and recycling services. For more information, please review our Waste section of the Exhibitor Manual.
To support more sustainable exhibition practices, exhibitors are encouraged to donate reusable materials through Trash Galore, which collects leftover exhibition materials with local social and nonprofit projects, promoting reuse instead of disposal. Eligible materials may include flooring, textiles, wood elements, signage, and display components.
Benefits of material donation:
- Reduce waste and avoid unnecessary disposal
- Lower logistics and handling costs
- Receive CO₂ and project reporting for ESG documentation, including a Reuse Report
- Support local social and nonprofit initiatives in the region
Services include:
- Pickup directly from your booth
- Optional dismantling, available upon request and subject to prior agreement
- CO₂ and project reporting
For more information, please refer to the Service Overview and Pricing Guide for details on available services, costs, and materials eligible for redistribution.
