Glastonbury 2009 recycling

[mauricewillie]

check out the facebook page for the recycling crews the rubbish ..it is like a battle against orcs......it is totally bizarre  that so much cr*p is just chucked ....... the crews do an incredible job but some how the 2000 tonnes of human muck should not end up on the ground.... 150,000 people and about 1700 clearing up their muck

I worked on the tractor crew in 2009, and my heart went out to the poor folk in the shed, I think folk thought what ever the weather we will be dry. I would rather be wet.

Had a great laugh on the tractors and probabaly the best view of Tom Jones when the tractor got stuck due to crowds and we were dancing on the piled up bags. Back there again this year Tractor Crew A

you can see me in the recycling centre shots

some of the stuff we came across was appalling. literal shit went through our hands, bottles of piss. getting up at the crack of dawn was a joke and i stumbled to picks still drunk and stoned. it was hard, digusting and absolutely shattering, but it was the most worth while things i've ever done in my life. the sheer amount of recycling was incredible, we shifted through tons and tons of it

I was one of this team, and yes it was appalling the shit people left behind (sometimes literally!)

Sorry but I don't think the leave no trace message is getting through in any significant way.

Glastonbury this year was left absolutely filthy there is no need for it there where plenty of bins there yes some of them did not get emptied and over flowed but the litter picker picked up crap as quickly as they could .

It comes down to damn right lazy people who cannot be bothered to find a bin to put their crap in instead just drop it where they stand seen it being done whilst there.

No need for this mess

Festival in Japan is a really clean place.

I think that recycling is very meticulous.
