Recycling

• Recycling at the Festival was introduced over 15 years ago, to supplement our overall waste management and the Festival currently recycles paper, cardboard, cans, plastic, glass and waste oil at all sites.
• Please help us to keep the site tidy and recycle using the bins, skips, recycling bags and points provided. Please do not bring glass; no glass bottles are allowed in the arena.
• All campers will be given recycling bags. Bins will separate material into appropriate containers around the sites. Each toilet will be supplied with a waste paper bin to recycle paper hand towels. Please use all of these!
• In 2010 we had a recycling rate of 71% of all waste and reduced the amount sent to landfill by an incredible 10 tons.
• Our bars generate zero landfill waste due to glass reuse and recycling all packaging.
• Our backstage artist/staff catering is also a zero landfill waste area thanks to the use of biodegradable cutlery and the recycling of all food scraps and packaging
• The Cambridge Folk Festival is committed to minimising its impact on the environment.
