10p cup collecting on again?

[5co77ie]

The reason I'm dubious about the whole idea of cup-collectors hassling people to drink up is that I work the bar every year at Reading, and am often stood round with lots of beer that I've 'acquired' and I've never seen it. All I ever see is a bunch of urchins merrily rushing round with improbably large stacks of cups grabbing anything they can find on the floor.

However, if people say they've experienced this, then fair enough - I stand corrected. I still don't see a problem though - surely you just say "I'll be returning this myself mate." Job done.

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

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?

cup monkeys should be drowned at birth.

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!
