Keep Bestival Tidy / Green Team

Please please please help us Keep Bestival Tidy!

Minimise Packaging - The first thing you can do in this respect is to bring less packaging onto the site in the first place. Please unpack all unnecessary cardboard and plastic around crates of beer / airbeds / tents before you leave home and avoid bringing plastic carrier bags with you.

No Glass - Absolutely NO GLASS is allowed on site. Please decant wine / vodka etc into plastic bottles or it will be confiscated at the gate. No exceptions.

Recycle - We will be posting info about our recycling initiatives here soon ... please check back.

Bestival Green Team - successfully introduced in 2007, the Bestival Green Team return to patrol all areas of the site throughout the weekend in small highly visible groups spreading the 'Keep Bestival Tidy!' message (with some fun and frolics thrown in for good measure) to encourage YOU to recycle and generally clean up after YOURSELVES... and to use the loos provided and not wee or poo in or near the lakes or woods (as the animals, fish and other wildlife don't like it!)

They will also be handing out free cigarette butt bins to those that need them... these will be small film canisters that you can keep in your pocket and empty at the bins when they are full. Please try not to drop your fag butts on the floor! It may also seem harmless but every single one has to be picked up again by someone.

Tents - Please don't leave your tents (or gazebos) behind at the end of the weekend. They will simply become large pieces of litter that cannot be recycled. A local scout group will be onsite to salvage some of the abandoned tents but we would much prefer it if you just took yours home with you and re-used it next year.
