There’s a belief that the tents left behind are taken by charities and given to homeless or those who need them. This has been debunked by organisers time and time again as not being true.

Is it? Tents cost money. 

Seems insanely wasteful, both environmentally and fiscally.

Tents don't cost that much nowdays. $20-30.
