EVENT CLEAN-UPS
Kim Searle
While Kim has since attended festivals as a regular paying guest, she said that her time picking litter has had an impact on how she disposes of her waste at festivals. She said: “Last year I was at Beacons and there had been a hurricane. I hadn’t slept and everything was soaked. The next morning I wanted nothing more than to abandon everything and get in a taxi but I just couldn’t!”
And first time picker added that she too would make sure she disposes of her waste properly. She said: “I’d always bag up my litter and drop it off at an allocated bin. I don’t think it would be an ‘extra effort’ though, as I would have done that anyway. I just think it’s dirty and wasteful when people leave their tents, rubbish and other items behind.
So, would they do it again? Steph Cole

Kim’s answer was a definite yes. “I would! I like working at festivals and working on the recycling team encourages me to value what I have and how I dispose of things.”
I’ve done a fair few
clean ups and they’re a bit shocking! You’d be amazed at the things
people leave behind – we’d find empty tents
with £20 notes just left in the centre.
Steph added: “I definitely do plan on working at Glastonbury again. It was a lot of fun; all the other workers in my team and camp site were so lovely. The workers have nicer toilets and showers, which is definitely a massive advantage, as the festival toilets become so disgusting by the end of the festival. And the bonus of a free festival ticket just sweetens the deal even more. Why wouldn’t I do it again?!”
