Make less waste
If you’ve been to the festival before you’ll know that managing our waste and reducing our environmental footprint is a top priority for us.
The team from Caledonian Horticulture, along with our dedicated Green Team, will be collecting and sorting all of the waste on site to be shipped off for recycling and processing – our compostable cups are turned into compost and used by North Berwick in Bloom! We aim to leave the Lodge Grounds as we find it.
We’ll also be
Using biodegradable cups across the site.
Partnering up with ReUse Scotland to source site materials.
Ensuring all of our traders follow waste management plans.
Installing a water tap so you can re-fill.
Do your bit too!
Leave the car at home – we have special late night buses and trains planned and bike racks on site.
Bring a reusable/refillable cup for bars/traders.
Put your waste in the correct, colour-coded bin.
