@jonty Those who do salvaging from the utter mess left behind at Leeds Festival and similar have taken great interest in the amount of effort that's been put into this :D It simply shows the huge culture difference between EMFCamp attendees (and how amazingly tidy they can be) compared to the utter chaos I rifled through last year in the aftermath to recover items to donate to those that need it. Festival Republic have a lot to learn about fostering better Festival cultures.

@stanto Things you will enjoy:

* The reusable cup vendors are absolutely astonished that we returned 95% of cups. Apparently that is the highest amount they've ever seen returned from a festival by a huge margin.

* The bin vendor was shocked that all the bins were present and correct, and none of them had been damaged.

* Some locals walked their dog through the site during teardown and say they love us because all the other festivals leave so much rubbish on site. They want to come in 2026.
