All throughout the summer season, multitudes of people come together by the thousands to congregate in vast, out-of-town locations to celebrate the warm days in festivals filled with music, love and art. These festivals can last from anywhere between one day to almost a week, turning locations into sprawling tent cities filled with transient party goers and attendees.

In the wake of the recently concluded Reading & Leeds Festival 2018 in August, footage of the unbelievable amount of rubbish left by the festival’s temporary residents emerged, showing thousands of discarded tents and trash littering the hillside venue.

The short clip below shared on Facebook by Sophie Cottis-Allan shows the massive clean-up effort following the festival.

The video was captioned:

“The aftermath of Leeds festival. The waste is just ridiculous… 🙁 Luckily hundreds of volunteers from amazing charities were invited on site to salvage something from this throwaway culture. Unfortunately, more than 90% of the tents we came across were trashed/slashed/burnt.”

With the 2019 Festival already being promoted barely a few weeks after this incident, organizers and other festival promotions elsewhere should put the appropriate measures in place to prevent incidents like this from happening again.
