Festival Season – The Clean-Up Begins…
Glastonbury has officially kicked-off festival season in the UK with a weekend of epic music and arts. Unfortunately, all the fun of the festival sometimes leaves the organisers (and festival-goers) with a big clean-up operation!
This has begun at Worthy Farm following this year’s Glastonbury Festival. Over 200,000 music fans flocked to the site from last Wednesday (June 21) and were treated to iconic performances from the likes of Elton John, Lizzo and Blondie.
1,000 litter pickers
Around 1,000 litter pickers were making their way around the Glastonbury site yesterday morning (June 26).
The volunteers separate the waste as they go so that as much as possible can be composted or recycled.
The litter left at the site ranges from cardboard cups and cans to odd bits of fancy dress and food boxes. Despite the scale of the job, those working to clean up Worthy Farm were finished by the end of the day!
Your local village may not be as messy as Glastonbury, but if you’re tempted to help clean up your local neighbourhood, we have our top 3 items to get you started…
1️⃣ Our LITTER PICKING KIT – includes everything you need to get started litter-picking.
We include a clear plastic sack (which you can use again and again), a strong plastic bag hoop (to stop the frustration of the wind blowing the sack shut!), and a strong but lightweight litter picker.
2️⃣ Biodegradable Wipes – If you need to give your hands, litter-picking kit, or even your shoes a clean from a busy day litter-picking, these are the wipes for you! The wipes are 100% biodegradable and capable of cleaning the likes of grease, ink, glues, oils and paint. The wipes are a large 15″ x 10″ size and feel like cloth & stay wet for over an hour!
3️⃣ Biodegradable Gloves – 100% biodegradable and have a high level of chemical protection. They are also strong enough to be used several times.
