As Bacardi NH7 Weekender aims to be a festival accessible to everyone, including those with special needs, arrangements have been made by OML for viewing platforms next to sound consoles with ramps for persons using wheelchairs, scooters, crutches, walkers or other mobility aids. Special parking facilities are also available at the closest possible entrance into the festival arena. Wheelchair friendly toilets are marked in the area for people with special needs. For medical emergencies, trained staff and ambulance service have also been made available by the organizers.

With an aim to become a minimal waste festival over the next three years, Bacardi NH7 Weekender is also implementing responsible waste management by promoting waste segregation and proper disposal of waste. To aid this, two separate bins will be placed at strategic locations where fans can help by segregating their waste into Food waste and Recyclables. Recyclable materials will be sent to recycling plants and the food waste will be composted. Fans can reach out to volunteers manning the bins in the food area for any guidance on segregating their waste correctly.
