Pinhead Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Litter seems minimal so far - the odd plastic bottle. Mostly cans and the odd food container / cardboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jne___ Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 I often wonder if where you grew up makes a difference. I grew up in the countryside so you were taught to respect the area. Also no one was going to clean up after you. Where I live in London now the kids just drop litter like it’s nothing, the area is grotty anyway but I wonder if they have the attitude that people clean the street etc so it doesn’t make much difference. Sadly I think that attitude probably does carry over to glasto, that there are litter pickers so why bother. And of course the everyone else is doing it excuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be cool if it actually made a substantial difference. Perhaps it’s too early to tell? Let me know! Brothers area is not good, worst I’ve seen so far this year. But most areas look pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see how that changes now the main stages are opening.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were doubling up yesterday for a bit of extra security, keeping them when they were empty and adding the new cup on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rivalschools.price Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Ruined my boots last week in Download (the sole came off my right boot, haha) and I gambled on not buying replacements once I saw the forecast. Glad I’ve just got my trainers, two months to save up for boots for Reading haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinhead Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Yeah the count seemed to go up didnt it as the weekend went on. Still nicely reduced, but a lot of cans instead. Edited July 1, 2019 by Pinhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be cool if it actually made a substantial difference. Perhaps it’s too early to tell? Let me know! Was an utter disgrace at every stage (Glade and some of the Green fields notable exceptions) and even most campsites. Saw so many people chucking cans or plates on the floor when 5m from bins Of course, it doesn't help when some of the bins are filling up quicker than they are being emptied but is there really any excuse for that? As others have said, it's really not a challenge to have a net positive effect on the festival. Clear away your own shit and a couple of extra tinnies every time you pop to a bin and it's better for everyone.
