As 175,000 Glastonbury-goers return to work after a weekend of mayhem, the clean-up over at Worthy Farm truly begins, with 800 litter-pickers and volunteers helping to make the fields of Pilton green once again.
Glasto fans had until 6pm last night (Monday 30 June) to leave the site, before a clean-up team could begin sweeping the site to clear up all the litter, debris, leftover tents and much more.
However, the Bath Chronicle reports that it could take £780,000 as well as 6 weeks for the 800-strong team to clean up after 175,000 campers, with the following predicted to have been left on site:
- 6,500 sleeping bags
- 5,500 tents
- 3,500 airbeds
- 2,200 chairs
- 950 rolled mats
- 400 gazebos
- Nine tonnes of glass (despite glass being banned from the site)
- 54 tonnes of cans and plastic bottles
- 41 tonnes of cardboard 66 tonnes of scrap metal
Yup, that's a lot. We're already looking forward to next year though, after festival boss Michael Eavis revealed that he'd already booked the three headliners.
