Leeds Festival

Leeds Festival is held every year, which means there is always a massive increase in the amount of waste produced throughout. Although there is advice and information on how to tackle this, there isn't an awful lot being done to effectively reduce the waste.





This is a photograph of the camp site at leeds festival. You can clearly see the amount of people that attend the event. Litter can become a massive problem if not handled in an effective way.

RECYCLE

YOUR CANS COUNT

It is estimated around 8 tonne of aluminium cans are at the festival after the party’s over. Much of this is left on the ground in the campgrounds. We want to let you know that YOUR CANS COUNT.

Bring back a bagful of cans to the Recycle Exchanges in the campgrounds, and we’ll give you a free can of beer. It’s that simple.

We’ll even give you the bag to collect the cans in. They’ll be handed out at wristband exchange when you enter the site, by our Green Messengers wandering the campgrounds, from your campsite manager’s caravan, and also from the Recycle Exchanges.
