This is what Glastonbury organisers DON'T want to see on Monday morning

When thousands of people go home after a festival, the site is often left covered in rubbish and debris. This is what Glastonbury has looked like in previous years...

Glastonbury 2022 has delivered five full days of merriment and three huge headliners: Billie Eilish, Sir Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar.

And once the 200,000-plus festival goers leave the site on Monday morning, this is what organisers DON'T want to see left behind.

To make the festival sustainable, organisers have asked festival-goers to sign the "Green Pledge" as part of the terms and conditions on buying their ticket.

The Glastonbury "Green Pledge" is: Reuse. Reduce. Respect.

• I will take all my belongings home with me, including my tent and camping equipment
• I will use the bins provided and not throw my rubbish on the ground
• I will bag up all my rubbish using the bin bags provided and use the recycling pens
• I will used the toilets provided and not pee on the land
• I will try to use a reusable water bottle and avoid single-use packaging

To demonstrate what they mean, this is what the Worthy Farm site looked like on Monday morning after the festival across several years in the past decade. Let's make sure this doesn't happen in 2022.

1. Festival-goers leave the site on Monday morning as the clean-up begins

   

2. Rubbish is stacked on top of Glastonbury's famous painted bins

   

3. Abandoned camping equipment in 2014

   

4. Bottles and bags lie discarded in front of the Pyramid Stage

   

5. Clean up begins in front of Glastonbury's main stage

   

6. Just some of the rubbish left on site at Worthy Farm

   

7. Overflowing bins at Glastonbury 2017

   

8. A huge team continue with the clean-up effort at Worthy Farm

   

9. There's still a fair way to go...
