This work presents an innovative approach to waste management during cultural and sporting events from the mobile bin. Because of the great difficulty that the organizers have in controlling the fluctuation of the production of waste. This study shows that a mobile bin is capable of managing the waste of an event of up to 250 visitors. The fact of presenting itself as a combination carried by the volunteer with four baskets thus fixed two in the front and two in the rear of a capacity of 17L each, allows him to effectively accompany the visitor in the execution of instruction of sorting out, previous in the organization of selective waste collection. This tool through its mobile character, allows one hand to effectively address the prevention of abandonment of waste ground for a better blossoming of the visitors and on the other hand, positions itself as an instrument of communication and awareness of proximity to the public with desired effects on the behavior of the latter, including the deconstruction of cultural barriers visitors have with respect to waste. In addition, through the appropriation of the mobile bin can either by private companies or by the Decentralized Territorial Collectivities, in order to be part of a sustainable development approach, constitutes a source of external financing useful to its implementation.

Abstract
This work presents an innovative approach to waste management during cultural and sporting events from the mobile bin. Because of the great difficulty that the organizers have in controlling the fluctuation of the production of waste. This study shows that a mobile bin is capable of managing the waste of an event of up to 250 visitors. The fact of presenting itself as a combination carried by the volunteer with four baskets thus fixed two in the front and two in the rear of a capacity of 17L each, allows him to effectively accompany the visitor in the execution of instruction of sorting out, previous in the organization of selective waste collection. This tool through its mobile character, allows one hand to effectively address the prevention of abandonment of waste ground for a better blossoming of the visitors and on the other hand, positions itself as an instrument of communication and awareness of proximity to the public with desired effects on the behavior of the latter, including the deconstruction of cultural barriers visitors have with respect to waste. In addition, through the appropriation of the mobile bin can either by private companies or by the Decentralized Territorial Collectivities, in order to be part of a sustainable development approach, constitutes a source of external financing useful to its implementation.
