A huge number of festivals are held every summer across the UK. Some are more environmentally conscious than others, but all of them generate waste for organisers and expense for festival-goers.

	~~The reuse~~ or ~~redistribution of~~ leftover gear at festivals is best left to charities and ~~organsiations which are~~ set up ~~to deal with this~~, as it involves ~~masses~~ of volunteers, transport and storage ~~and is~~ beyond our scope.

Reusing or redistributing leftover gear at festivals is best left to charities and organisations set up for that purpose, since it involves large numbers of volunteers, transport and storage that's beyond our scope. The gear is usually directed to the homeless, foreign aid and similar causes.

	~~However~~, there is no reason ~~why you couldn't do some~~ research on local festivals ~~to you~~ and ~~maybe~~ offer to help or let them use your community to redistribute some of the gear locally.		That said, there's no reason not to research local festivals and offer to help, or let them use your community to redistribute some of the gear locally.

	~~And, of course,~~ Freegle ~~could be helpful to~~ people ~~BEFORE~~ they go to a festival ~~too~~, so they don't buy new tents and other ~~things~~ unnecessarily. For lists of upcoming festivals, ~~look at~~ sites ~~like~~ Virtual Festivals [http://www.virtualfestivals.com/index.cfm?section=festivals.upcoming&countryid=4] and Festival Calendar [http://www.thefestivalcalendar.co.uk/].		Freegle can also help people before they go to a festival, so they don't buy new tents and other kit unnecessarily.

There are a huge number of Festivals held every summer across the UK. Some are more environmentally conscious than others, but all of them generate a lot of waste for organisers and expense for festival goers.

The reuse or redistribution of leftover gear at festivals is best left to charities and organsiations which are set up to deal with this, as it involves masses of volunteers, transport and storage and is beyond our scope. The gear is usually directed to the homeless, foreign aid etc.

However, there is no reason why you couldn't do some research on local festivals to you and maybe offer to help or let them use your group to redistribute some of the gear locally.

And, of course, Freegle could be helpful to people BEFORE they go to a festival too, so they don't buy new tents and other things unnecessarily.
