Glastonbury trashed with litter during festival

- A major clean-up operation has begun at Glastonbury to return the site from a pop-up city of 200,000 people to a Somerset dairy farm.
Volunteers began shifting rubbish strewn across the 800-acre site as revellers began to make their way home following headline performances by Billie Eilish, Sir Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar.
They began picking up thousands of discarded items including paper cups and food containers after around 200,000 people descended on Worthy Farm for the festival.
The clean-up crew tackled over-flowing bins with waste and big items such as camping chairs, blow-up mattresses, slippers, flip-flops and shopping bags needing to be disposed of.
The festival featured countless other memorable moments including Greta Thunberg delivering a passionate speech from the Pyramid Stage calling on society to take on its “historic responsibility to set things right” with the global climate crisis.
Have people forgotten Greta Thungberg's message of saving the planet?
Many people are hypocritical and selfish, i doubt very much it is actually Greta's message, handed the message that is wrote by somebody else.
It's in response to Greta's message
She flies all over the world so isn't she just a tad hypocritical?, It's funny how these people very rarely practice what they preach.
I don't care about her message.
.. yep. They cheered her speech, they screamed their adoration - then shrugged their shoulders and just dropped their litter for someone else to deal with. NB: "The Environment" is not some abstract far-off concept, it (always) starts here, where ever you happen to be standing!.
Remember this mess was left by people who will berate you if you mock Greta Thunberg's hysterics.
@Macavity Ah I see it's OK to just throw rubbish on the ground and not clean up after yourself because it's going to be recycled. I understand now, there's no need for me to take responsibility for my own mess because someone else will. Jeez, that's such a millennial attitude.
@@supercriceto Macavity adds her lies about the treatment of the 1.650 tons of trash under each comment. When the environmental sharia produces trash, there is absolutely no problem because everything will be recycled. We all know that most of it will be burnt or dumped into the ses. Concerning Macavity: This subject applies for the ministry of truth.
@Macavity there’s one of you in every comment.
In short don't preach about saving the planet when you we apart of this mess.
@Macavity I think you miss the point 👉☝🏾
Why did Gretta have to attend? VIP stylee.. she could of recorded a video and that could of been played on the big stage screens and got her message out.. but no she travels milage to cash in on her new found fame.
Do as I say, not what I do!! 👀
I'm no angel but I don't guilt trip the general public into thinking they are the problem or the solution.
Astounding hypocrisy.
@Macavity yes but think about what did happen
@Macavity yes, I am alright, and yes it did get cleaned up, that's really good and I am happy about that, I am just saying to think about what did happen,
@Macavity aggressive aren't we, well I heard she was making there was an environmental speech at that festival, and then when everyone left, there was a bunch of trash kn the ground
@Macavity gosh you sound aggravated, like so aggravated, all I said is think about what happened, that caused no harm to anyone
@Macavity I'm not talking about the trash on that bit, I'm just said something and it aggravated you
They don’t care, they just want to appear to care. I have more respect for people who just don’t give a sh*+. At least they’re real.
Exactly! Well said.
I don't like either sort.
Yeah and real is the litter sh...ng generation
@@davidwhittingham8617 ?
@@deepblue8081 No neither do I but I have more respect for someone who doesn’t pretend to be something they’re not. Even if it isn’t good.
did greta stay to help clean up , guess her corporate sponsors had a different job for her .
Probably flew off in a private plane for her next mission ?
She doesn't do the litter clean up thing. A bit beneath her I think.
she had a flight to catch. 😂
i`m old enough to remember when we used to tidy up after ourselves,this is disgusting !!
@Macavity this is what happens when you give people a platform to speak there opinions, i never went to a place of education that taught others worthless opinions so why except them
@Macavity lol grow up, you understood me perfect enough to reply XD
@Macavity fantasy festivals lol ok ,by the way recycling is one of the biggest scams going
@Macavity you are a spastic of epic proportions and are just a child with no argument and is just expressing your childish emotional self lol grow up XD you must be pissed off nobody agrees with you pffff lol
@@jimbob297 as recycling takes your stuff for free and turns it into money without us getting a reduction on grocery items that comes with a form of packaging, yeah it's definitely a scam but they can do that as our psychotic leaders take advantage of us wanting to clean up our act but they won't let us by showing something on the news that causes diversion of concern. we will see a day when it's too late and full on destruction to this planet to the point where all life will die look at all the species we have lost since the 70's 80's that sir david Attenborough has documented. i mean we are fucked.
Big respect to those who stayed behind to help pick it all up. 👏👏👏
Mostly older people and some young adults.
But where are all the young people?
To the next climate change party, I think.
@@varelion Or stood out of shot filming it on their phones.
They get free entry to the festival.
They’re not volunteering 😆
Glad to hear that. Still doesn't excuse the lack of self discipline from the attendees. No need to leave it that bad.
Amazes me, this is a generation of kids that are more educated about the harms of plastic, litter etc and yet this is how they behave. Total hypocrisy
EXACTLY
Best thing is I bet most of these hippies are the ones screeching about saving the planet lmao 🤣
"hippies" 😂😂 you really are showing how clueless you are
This festival is more middle class than Wimbledon & strawberries 🙈😂
@Macavity Witch part of they shouldn't throw away the trash in the first place you don't understand?
there are very few Hippies that go to GF now, it mainly Middle class hurray henrys
These supposedly green warriors disgraceful but typical gretas minions they are a joke 😩
@Macavity so it's alright to throw it on the floor someone else's problem and is it recycled did greta come on a bike or walk 🤪
Typical of the " Do as I say not as i do" brigade.
@@stevenbrown6912 👍spot on
What does one expect from lefties luvvies!
But I thought middle-class millennials cared so much about the environment?!
Next week they will be sitting legs crossed (in their sandals with trust-fund dreadlocks) blocking the M25, glued to the road causing absolute chaos ……
The Middle Class care only about NOT BECOMING Working Class, horrendous people if you buy into all that Divide/Rule stuff the British live by...
No they care about being seen to care- two very different things!!
The same crowd who demand I drive less to save the planet single handedly did this much environmental damage in just 5 days
They ought to make the musicians & performers pick it up! There the ones squawking save the planet, flying all over the world constantly.
I wouldn't volunteer to pick it up, let Evis pay someone to do it, provide some local jobs.
@Macavity I'm fine thanks, it's just those festival types are always banging on about saving the planet but have no conception of keeping it clean!
@Macavity You are not alright. You are just a mindless aggressive propagandist. Most of the trash will be burnt of thrown into the sea.
Wake up, get some real info and don't drown us in your illusions and propaganda.
during the festival there is a army of 2500 people who pick litter in shifts between 6 am and 12pm who work for a Free ticket ( I did it for 12yrs),
@@tonybuttie3038 more fool you then!
@@tonybuttie3038 O.k. Now you give me nightmares about how the whole scene would look if there was no army of trash collectors every day. You know these ball pools for kids, don't you?
But for the transport of the trash you need professional companies with heavy equipment.
I don't think that those helpers carry the 1650 tons of rubbish away in their backpacks.
The great unwashed leave their calling card .
That is disgraceful, all the micro plastics, I hope those collecting the rubbish are rewarded financially, all for music but no respect for the land. More control should be made.

When I attended the Stones concert in 1969 Hyde Park the litter was collected following the gig by all who attended. The day after Hyde Park was pristine. All the talk of keeping the environment clean obviously fell on stony ground. So much for progress.
People were normal in those days .
The annual Glastonbury Pig Festival.
Pigs, otherwise known as "horizontal humans", are a lot cleaner and far more intelligent than the herd that left this mess.
Glad that someone posted the true scale of the appalling waste festival left behind according to some mainstream media this didn't happen this year ...Where's Greta ? Is she going to grab a bag and help ? ...
The reality behind virtue signalling.
The only festival you'd expect to be clean once everyone has departed is an opera.
That’s pretty bang on
All Gretas friends helping the planet 🤣🤣🤣
Ye, let's save the planet 🤣 what a bunch of character's
Seriously unimpressive like the rest of the festival in my opinion
I doubt they can remember their own name after all the drink never mind remembering thunder bergs message
Reminds me of what Europe is about, now.
No reminds me of what concert goers think of their environment. This is the age of entitlement.
Went to Switzerland a couple of years ago the place was absolutely spotless not a bit of litter anywhere even around the bins. Got back off the ferry in Hull and could have filled a skip within the first two miles. How hard is it to keep your litter in a bag and dispose of it properly they carried it there why not back to the bins.
And Springsteen and Grohl flew in just for a song...
Surely there must be an better way to pick up the rubbish? Like get the Gringe Thunderbird to pick it all up.
How did Greta get there and back just for a wasted 5 minute virtual signalling speech?
Many younger people nowadays just dont care about anyone except themselves.
well done the paltry few who stayed to clear up, howver, surely if you truly cared for the enviroment you wouldnt drop it in the first place
These same hypocrites who left that mess will probably be glued to the M 25 next week,protesting your use of a car to get to work!
The very same hypocrites will soon be preaching to us about saving the planet !...
@Macavity oh really!...... All of the same very people who will preach to us about saving the planet?.... Mate there's only one clown here, you naive bell-end 🤷😁
find some drugs and money on thet team clean
Visual Hypocrisy
Reminds me when I was told
If we didn’t make a mess other people wouldn’t have jobs.
I remember the old hippy festivals, people cleared-up after themselves!
You’re not showing the hundreds of tents they left behind!
None of these hypocrites should be allowed to leave the site until it is clear of THEIR litter, they dropped it so THEY should pick it up. Simple.
Well done Greta they are listening to you!!😏
Generations of people self -obsessed with no thought for their surroundings or others.
Glastonbury employs (they’re actually volunteers) hundreds of people to clean up all garbage each night after the main stages close. The volunteers work throughout the night. This is how they do it there. No garbage was left behind (about 3% leave tents and these are given away to charity later). So don’t make it sound like those that went to Glastonbury just littered everywhere. They have a system in place and it works brilliantly
This video tells a different story!
Crap “system” then!
Don't forget this happens every day throughout the world. The waste that humanity creates is mind boggling. It's just that we can see it here all in one place. Pretty shocking eh
@Macavity Apologist and palliator. Whenever activists and climate sharia produces unnecessary rubbish, you want to make us believe that all rubbish is being recycled.
Wake up, propagandist and don't lie!
Most of the trash is loaded on ships and thrown into the sea somewhere. That's reality.
How very inclusive to include the sea with more litter
All the Vegans, Veggies and all around do gooders couldn't be bothered to bag up the their own litter and take it home with them. Absolute hypocracy.
protect the enviorenment, but not us
send this to Greta to show what her so called followers think and do
One crisp winter morning in Sweden, a cute little girl named The Angry Beaver woke up to a perfect world, one where there were no petroleum products ruining the earth. She tossed aside her cotton sheet and wool blanket and stepped out onto a dirt floor covered with willow bark that had been pulverized with rocks. “What’s this?” she asked.
“Pulverized willow bark,” replied her fairy godmother.
“What happened to the carpet?” she asked.
“The carpet was nylon, which is made from butadiene and hydrogen cyanide, both made from petroleum,” came the response.
The Angry Beaver smiled, acknowledging that adjustments are necessary to save the planet, and moved to the sink to brush her teeth where instead of a toothbrush, she found a willow, mangled on one end to expose wood fibre bristles.
“Your old toothbrush?” noted her godmother, “Also nylon.”
“Where’s the water?” asked The Angry Beaver
“Down the road in the canal,” replied her godmother, ‘Just make sure you avoid water with cholera in it”
“Why’s there no running water?” The Angry Beaver asked, becoming a little peevish.
“Well,” said her godmother, who happened to teach engineering at MIT, “Where do we begin?” There followed a long monologue about how sink valves need elastomer seats and how copper pipes contain copper, which has to be mined and how it’s impossible to make all-electric earth-moving equipment with no gear lubrication or tires and how ore has to be smelted to a make metal, and that’s tough to do with only electricity as a source of heat, and even if you use only electricity, the wires need insulation, which is petroleum-based, and though most of Sweden’s energy is produced in an environmentally friendly way because of hydro and nuclear, if you do a mass and energy balance around the whole system, you still need lots of petroleum products like lubricants and nylon and rubber for tires and asphalt for filling potholes and wax and iPhone plastic and elastic to hold your underwear up while operating a copper smelting furnace and . . .
“What’s for breakfast?” interjected The Angry Beaver whose head was hurting.
"Fresh, range-fed chicken eggs,” replied her godmother. “Raw.”
“How so, raw?” inquired The Angry Beaver.
“Well, . . .” And once again, The Angry Beaver was told about the need for petroleum products like transformer oil and scores of petroleum products essential for producing metals for frying pans and in the end was educated about how you can’t have a petroleum-free world and then cook eggs. Unless you rip your front fence up and start a fire and carefully cook your egg in an orange peel like you do in Boy Scouts. Not that you can find oranges in Sweden anymore.
“But I want poached eggs like my Aunt Tilda makes,” lamented The Angry Beaver.
“Tilda died this morning,” the godmother explained. “Bacterial pneumonia.”
“What?!” interjected The Angry Beaver.. “No one dies of bacterial pneumonia! We have penicillin.”
“Not anymore,” explained godmother “The production of penicillin requires chemical extraction using isobutyl acetate, which, if you know your organic chemistry, is petroleum-based. Lots of people are dying, which is problematic because there’s not any easy way of disposing of the bodies since backhoes need hydraulic oil and crematoriums can’t really burn many bodies using as fuel Swedish fences and furniture, which are rapidly disappearing - being used on the black market for roasting eggs and staying warm.”
This represents only a fraction of The Angry Beavers’s day, a day without microphones to exclaim into and a day without much food, and a day without carbon-fibre boats to sail in, but a day that will save the planet.
Tune in tomorrow when The Angry Beaver needs a root canal and learns how Novocain is synthesized and that Michelle Obama is really a dude named Mike Obama.
bacterial pneumonia is treated with omoxycilin.
Save the planet, my arse!!!
@Macavity - sadly, not those who a day earlier were virtue signalling like their lives depended on it...
I wonder if Greta helped out with the clearance of the plastics
And they think electric vehicles make electricity. 😂😂
Glastonbury festival is over rated, has been for a long time. It's not really about the music any more. The festival goers are not real music lovers. It's just a fun day out and a long week end for people and their families and friends to get wasted and ruin the fields with their trash they don't have the decency to take with them. So much for caring about the environment!!!
Spot on mate not only rubbish on the field but on stage as well .
@@davidclarke1429 wow!!! The stage too!!!
@@davidclarke1429 I can well believe it
The decent, quiet and law abiding people clean up after the trash have left their garbage. Typical hypocritical elitists that are arrogant and ignorant to boot.
big surprise every year the same thing at these sort of events . A ton of bottles , cans , food wrappers , containers , tent equipment, carrier bags , masks etc left behind because its not their problem to put in a bin it's someone else's ....
Bet there are thousands of pounds worth of valuables accidently left every year amongst the rubbish
Does "valuables" also include "certain substances" and "repurposed pharmaceuticals"?
Yep! Pills and powder galore!
Hippies don’t have valuables
@Macavity good point. .
@@user-rl5nd3ys8p These "hippies" are upper middle class.
Its like Jordan Peterson says. Before you go out and try to safe the world first learn to clean your room and take responsibility over your own circumstances.
The people who attended this event are like those saying "end oil and fossil fuels" by writing it with cans of paint, or printing it onto T shirts lol...
Ironically, all require oil to be created.
and Thunberg's message was? what utter nonsense
You can see where this is going. I can imagine theyll blsme this on the too many whites. Its like this evey year. And i remember it was always mud because of the rain. But theres been none for years now
Lots of mud in 2016, only 3 Glastonburys ago 🙂
At the end of it the eco-warriors jumped into their electronic cars charged with power from DIESEL GENERATORS 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes our children who so say love the planet
No exit gates should be open until everyone attending has filled a bin bag each of rubbish.
Not a single garbage/recycling receptacle anywhere. Organizers ought to be ashamed of themselves. Live it, if you're going to speak it.
Well, since the organisers of the Music Festival were charging £280 per ticket entrance fee Id expect the organisers to make good clearing the site of litter , wouldn't you ?.
.. so paying some money somehow entitles you to dump rubbish, does it!?. It sounds like you're part of the problem.
@@siras2 what should they have done with the rubbish then Einstein??
Majority of rubbish will be recycled on site!!
£280?! Is that including the 'Paul McCartney discount', too..?
@@pauldavies7251 .. erm, how about simply taking it one of the many collection points. ps. I'm not Einstein, but it's an easy mistake to make.
200,000 people at £280 each = 57 MILLION
did greta help clean up?
Wouldn’t it be great if,on entry,each festival goer was given a black bin bag and told to put all their own rubbish in it and to pop it into a skip on the way out. What a way to finish a festival and a valuable lesson learned. Just a thought.
How about saying if one piece of litter is left next year, there will be no festival the next?
Did they do any recycling?
Good old environmental tree huggers for you
No different than they were in the 70s. Still hypocrites...
They should of stop the people leaving until it was all cleaned up.
Absolutely disgusting they know its a farm and animals will be on that land not long after the festival....
Provide plenty of bins and people naturally fill them, its that obvious!! Event organisers need staff to empty them too, its not rocket science!
Wonder what their heroine Greta made of that mess? Hypocrisy of the highest order
Usual glasto 🤷🏼 nowt different ere I’m afraid
no one knows what a bin is for these days
Well Greta ,your message clearly isn’t getting through.people these days don’t give a dam about about anything but them selves.
All those bottles and cans would be worth something to someone
What happens to the tents and other camping gear? Do the people who clean it up keep what they want.
Recycle separate plastic,organic, paper
Maybe Richard Bacon was watching the litter pickers when he said what he did.
great news coverage! mess after a festival
Isn’t this just the aftermath of every festival that ever happened? These people are clearing up just the same as people clear up after every other festival. If no one cleared up, they wouldn’t have Glastonbury every year. I went to Creamfields once and all the abandoned tents were gathered up for refugees. XXX
Take a look around the place you live! This is just a more compact area.
Sounds like a municipal waste site.
I wonder how many Save the Planet banners and Ukranian flags they found left on site?
@Macavity His point is these people follow every trend without thinking of it. Like supporting Ukraine because they were told to do that. Please learn how to use your brain!
Well done to the youth, keep lecturing us about the planet.
It’s cool until it effects them🇬🇧👎🏼
Slow news day then. Shock horror, litter after a huge festival being cleared up by the organisers.
Absolutely embarrassing post by talk TV
Reading the comments is even more shocking 🙄🤷🏼
Let's hope nobody dropped plastic straws. That the last thing we need.
yeah, it's a festival. They don't have clean-up crews for that?
I hope the others work a bit faster than the old boy in the foreground.
a 'very profitable' Somerset Dairy farm. you forgot to add that in your leader.
At least some of the people who attended the festival stayed back to clear up, respect to them. Where is Greta, on a plane going home no doubt.
Middle class, virtue signalling wastes of space.
Save the Planet ,me heads still wobbling
Like crossing Stephan Merchant with the Chucky doll.
All so fake, ‘ooh we are hippies and love the earth, om zen manna vegan’ etc…But just drop trash everywhere. ‘Ooh I’m so spiritual and I’m guided by the universal energy portal of Om zen’ but throw cigarette butts on the floor…..
This is a non story.
Happens every year.
The cost of the Festival ( nearly £300) covers this and the job and money for cleaning up goes into the local community.
Why use 'volunteers' when the venue netted 57 MILLION over the weekend ...?
That's exactly why I throw my litter on the streets, it gives council workers a job and that money goes back into the community, I tend to do this whilst wearing my save the planet t shirt because it's the right thing to do.
Does that make it excusable ?
@@justad1018 It's a long weekend bender... FFS. I'm surprised most of them got themselves home afterwards. There's much bigger issues going on in the world to worry about this non event.
@@carolewynn9407 Find something more important to worry about.
There's a smorgasbord of things right now and Glastonbury rubbish isn't one of them.
@@BasketCase There's lots to worry about, just thought people were so concerned about the climate, or is that only on certain days ? 🙂
How much are they paid to clear up, since the event mad millions i presume.
during the festival there is a army of 2500 people who pick litter in shifts between 6 am and 12pm who work for a Free ticket ( I did it for 12yrs), after the festival there are clean up jobs offered at Min Wage + free meals
This is fake! These pictures are from 2015!
Is this not just considered part and parcel of the festival experience nowadays both from the POV of the organisers and festival goers? Assuming the waste is disposed of properly it's just like any domestic waste, just greater in volume.
they dont have rakes or spades in the country
Looks like a landfill site.
