As long as people carry on cup fishing I don't mind the existence of cup monkeys.

[rivalschools.price]

how about they knock 10p off a pint and the festival organisers actually employ litter collecters.i pay 200 quid for a ticket,i expect the place to be litter free without me having to pay a 'litter tax' on my beer.

So, let me get this straight...

You get drink tokens for collecting cups, not actual money?

No you get money back, they don't have drink tokens at R+L

Just received my volunteer pack via Hotboxevents, and we've been told to promote the following schemes:

"Reusable beer cups – festival goers pay a £0.10 deposit for a cup and
carrier. These can be returned and deposit reclaimed at the refund points.
The same applies for the ‘One Water’ water bottles.

Festival goers cans count – if they bring back a bagful of cans to the
Recycle Exchanges in the campsites, we’ll give them a free can of beer!
We’ll even give them the bag to collect the cans in. The bags will be handed
out at the wristband exchanges, by the Green Messengers in the campsites,
from the campsite offices and Recycle Exchanges."

So, yeah cups are a go! And so is the 'bin-bag-of-cans-for-a-can' scheme!

Well I suspect they have used some of the words from Latitude for Reading/Leeds.

While the plastic cups used at Latitude are Reusable { deposit was £3 this year } the paper cups used at Reading/Leeds are not reusable - they can be recycled but not reused.
