The advice from Leeds Fest bosses is "take it home" regarding tents, rubbish and belongings.

On their website, it states: 'A typical tent contains the equivalent of around 8,750 plastic straws or 250 plastic pint cups.

'A tent left for general waste emits the same amount of CO2 as driving a petrol car for over 100miles.'

Despite volunteers going in to help with the clean up, the aim is for no single tent to be left behind.

Those who do take their tent home can pick up a voucher for Co-op when you show your packed up tent to the campsite team.
