Abstract

Sporting events regularly take place in stadiums. To serve thousands of spectators’ entertainment needs, in addition to meeting a range of sports activities such as lighting yards, showing scoreboards on screen, watering and mowing grass, the managers also have to spend a huge budget for the collection and disposal after each event. Mixed trash after games is very terrible and could rise up to tens of tons. It takes thousands of hours of work by hundreds of sanitation workers and volunteers to clean them. This situation is a waste and not a few headaches managers. Many solutions have been in place. The most viable one of them is that instead of dealing with garbage passively, it was classified, recycling, reusing, significantly saving money but also protecting the environment. This paper has synthesised efficient solutions for handling waste from the stadium in the world.
