PopUP CleanUP cares about the health and safety of people, places and our planet.  Our clients are comforted by the consistent quality of our service providers and environmentally sound cleaning solutions for every occasion. They make moments memorable, we take care of the rest!

A. We’re evolving from being primarily an on-site event cleaning provider to a sourcing and consulting partner for event producers. That means we use our 10+ years of event experience to match you with the right cleaning and waste management solution, coordinate logistics, and help you stay compliant—especially in California—so your event runs clean, smooth, and brand-safe.

A. In many cases, yes—through our trusted vetted network. We source live porter services, restroom attendants, and event cleaning teams that fit your budget, footprint, and service expectations, while PopUP CleanUP coordinates the plan and oversees performance.

A. Depending on your needs, we can source and coordinate:

  • Live porters + restroom attendants

  • Pre-event, live-event, and post-event cleaning crews

  • Dumpster rentals + trash hauling

  • Recycling + compost programs

  • Food recovery partners

  • Cooking oil capture (conversion into bio-diesel where applicable)

  • Event site waste stream setup (signage, bin placement, back-of-house flow)

A. Because we’re not just sending labor—we’re solving the whole waste + cleanliness system.
You get:

  • A cleaner scope (less confusion, fewer vendor gaps)

  • Better-fit partners (matched to your event type and budget)

  • Logistics support (dumpster sizing, pickup schedule, waste footprint planning)

  • Compliance-minded guidance (especially landfill diversion in California)

  • A single point of coordination so you’re not chasing multiple vendors

A. We support a wide range—from brand activations and fashion events to awards shows, sports, and large-scale festivals—typically 500 to 50,000+ attendees.

A. Yes. We’ll evaluate your event’s waste footprint (attendance, vendors, duration, layout, service style) and coordinate:

  • Recommended dumpster quantities + sizes

  • Placement plan + service routes

  • Haul schedule (including overnight pulls and post-event sweeps)

A. Yes. We can build a landfill diversion strategy that goes beyond “trash pickup,” including recycling, composting, food recovery, and other diversion pathways—then coordinate the vendors needed to execute it.

A. PopUP CleanUP stays accountable for coordination and performance oversight. Your sourced vendor executes the labor/service, but we help ensure the scope is clear, the expectations are documented, and the delivery matches what was promised.

A. We source based on:

  • Event type + venue requirements

  • Budget + service expectations

  • Staffing availability + experience level

  • Insurance/compliance readiness

  • Track record in live-event environments (speed, discretion, professionalism)

A. Yes. If you want to hand off the entire “mess” category, we can bundle:

  • Labor (porters/restroom attendants/cleaning)

  • Hauling + rentals

  • Landfill diversion strategy + vendor coordination

You will have fewer moving parts and one operational point of contact.

A. PopUP CleanUP is headquartered in Los Angeles and supports events across the U.S. There are some areas that we do not cover, please call, email us at contact@popupcleanup.com or fill out our event questionnaire for us to confirm coverage of your event location. 

A. As early as possible—ideally:

  • 2–4 weeks out for standard events

  • 4–8+ weeks out for large-scale or high-compliance events
    But we can also support shorter timelines when needed.

While we can provide services closer to the event date and time, we do charge a premium for last minute requests due to the increased difficulty of staffing and the necessity of focusing almost exclusively on servicing your project.

A. Pricing depends on what you need:

  • Sourcing + coordination fee (for staffing/services we source)

  • Consulting fee (for diversion strategy, compliance planning, logistics)

  • Pass-through vendor costs (labor, dumpsters, hauling, etc.)
    We’ll provide a clear scope and breakdown so there are no surprises.

To build the right plan, we typically start with:

  • Event date(s) + hours of operation

  • Venue address + layout notes

  • Estimated attendance

  • Vendor count (food/beverage especially)

  • Load-in/load-out schedule

  • Current waste plan (if any)

  • Any venue rules or sustainability requirements

As an event producer, you’re already juggling spinning plates. Our job is to protect your brand’s reputation and take the cleaning + waste logistics plate off your hands.

This is event cleaning — simplified.
You make the moments memorable. We’ll take care of the mess.
