Thousands of abandoned tents, garbage scattered over several hectares, a lawn lined with corpses of bottles… The day after the 2021 edition of the Reading Festival in England, where more than 100,000 young people partied non- stop for three days, the cleaning teams have a "hangover".
The festival-goers left the place in a sorry state.
On a video filmed by a drone, we can see the extent of the damage.
On social networks, the images of this sea of rubbish aroused indignation.
Among the shocked Internet users, some have suggested withdrawing the license of the festival organizer, as long as real measures to ban such rampage are not applied.
While waiting for the 2022 edition, a major cleaning operation has been launched.
And it will take no less than two weeks of effort to clear the space.
Regarding the thousands of tents and hundreds of sleeping bags left behind, an association, Hert for Refugees, asked to be able to recover them to redistribute them to refugees.
