View our Best Practices Guide 📗: Waste Data Management for Sports Venues!
Waste visibility for high-performance venues.
WATS helps stadiums, arenas, and event venues manage waste like game-day operations. Delivering event-level visibility, concessionaire accountability, cost control, and measurable sustainability performance.
Event-by-event waste tracking
Diversion and cost visibility across facilities
Actionable insights to reduce cost and improve performance
Venue Waste Is Dynamic, Not Static
Stadiums and arenas don’t operate on steady volume. They spike.
• Game days vs non-event days
• Concerts vs sporting events
• Sell-out crowds vs partial attendance
• Multiple concession operators
• Temporary staff and vendors
Waste services are often fixed, contracts are static, and data is delayed. Pressure is rising from zero waste game commitments, sponsor expectations, public reporting, and city mandates — yet most venues cannot answer: what was our diversion rate for last night’s event?
Problems We Solve
No Event-Level Visibility
Waste data typically covers a calendar month - it is not event-based. Teams can’t measure performance per game or show.Concessionaire Variability
Different operators generate different waste streams, but performance isn’t consistently tracked or benchmarked.Manual Reporting for Sponsors
Zero waste or sustainability claims require manual reconciliation and delayed reporting.Over- or Under-Sized Service Levels
Fixed pickup schedules rarely align with fluctuating attendance. Limited Executive Visibility Ownership and leadership lack clear dashboards to track sustainability performance across events and seasons.
