They do, although this is bad, the festival organisers return the site to pre-event state (well, pre event plus the impact of that many people walking all over it).
They're festival organisers, so at some point they'll probably start asking a fee for that, but in the UK these have to be transparent at the time of purchase so it's just another way of defining, "what the market will bear".
How naive are you? The fact that these festivals typically are commerical operations aimed at turning a profit and not charity events is completely lost on you, isn't it?
Those organizers are already charging attendees "as much of their money as possible" because that is how business / greed works. Now try to add some on top of that an people simply won't attend.
Good, then that extra revenue can be used by the venue to pay people to pick up the trash and if they're already doing that they can afford to pay them more!
Atleast it would pay for a proper cleanup. Due to all the needles and human waste that are surely spread out all over the place this should automatically be classified as a biohazard cleaning job with certain precautions (which isn’t cheap). I would bet currently they just send out minimum wage festival employees to deal with this.

Although a good idea, most entitled people wouldn't give a fuck and would still walk out empty handed.
