Never in my life have I looked at something I bought/received that I really didn't want to have to clean, and instead chose to just leave it there.
I either suck it up and take it home (even if I could easily afford to replace it) to avoid creating needless waste, or do the bare minimum of binning it appropriately.
I understand this person was probably just explaining the logic rather than defending it, but it's infuriating that so many people think like this. Fly tipping/littering is honestly one of the worst things people routinely do that destroys communities and it makes my fucking blood boil how little people care.
I was at Leeds fest this year and i can tell you there are no where near enough bins for the amount of tents that get left behind. For the record i took my tent home nor do i think people are right in leaving theirs behind, but throwing it in a bin at the festival isn’t an option
This was unfortunately my solution for a festival I want to this year. Got a final clearance tent for £7, found out it was way too small. Instead of carrying it back just to bin it, I packed it up and put it in the waste area with all my rubbish. No way was I going to leave it for some volunteer to do for me though.
