There are no volunteers at Coachella. They pay legit people to work the fest.
That's probably it then. Volunteers are likely killing time and not caring while paid people will tend to work a bit harder.
Also, how plentiful are the garbages at Coachella? Like are there a ton of them around or is it like Roo?
There are way more trash containers at Coachella. Clearly marked and easy to find. And if someone decides to just set something down instead, it's picked up quickly.
I think the grounds being so clean makes people act better about throwing away their trash, too. At roo it's kind of like...what's one more water bottle on the ground?
Also, Coachella does a water bottle recycling program. 10 empty bottles=1 free water. So that helps too.
^^ that water recycling program is a really good idea.
At FFFfest in Austin last year they didn't have plastic water bottles. All the had were lil milk cartons, it was weird seeing punx and metalheads looking like they were drinking milk in the sun everywhere.

Totally agree. I wish it was a bit cleaner at Roo to avoid people just adding to the problem.
I do also think the late night scene is a big cause of the garbage too. People too involved in their mind-state and shows to even care about searching out a garbage can in the dark.
I always thought it had alot to do with the downtime between the end of the fest and the opening of the gates the next day, but its sparkling clean all day long. I agree its the mindset of "just one more bottle"
Hate the beer gardens. And only Heineken to boot. Got excited when I found a miller lite tap, yuck. More trash is the price you pay for being able to drink a beer while watching a show.
-Proper watering of the grass would be a godsend at Roo. Very jealous of their sprinklers... -water recycling/trade program is incredible!! I'd be all over that. -no beer at Coachella? that has to be a joke, right?
It also says no NO NO WORD!!! sharpies, recording devices or outside food and beverages.
Didnt have a prblem bringing mine in once last year
I think I came up with a new game to play at festivals.
Print off the list of "NO's!" and then cross them off one by one as you see them. No dogs allowed? There's a hippy with a puppy! No fireworks allowed? I saw someone set off some in the back of the What stage field.
unfortunately my bag is one of the tiny ones that is obviously a camelbak (can't stand to have a full backpack all day)
i was planning on bringing it anyway and playing it by ear, so i guess this is good news
anyway, point remains that it's insane to me that they are prohibited, even if just on paper
agreed.
I would be surprised that if you got denied with a camelbak in one security line and went to the next that you wouldnt get in there with it. But honestly I didnt even have anyone question mine last year.
I got busted going through the gate at Roo twice the last two years. One was with corn and corn accessories. The gentlemen was kind enough to give it all back to me and I went through another line. The second was this past year on my Sunday drunk day. The lady decided to look under my camelback bladder and found beer and like 4 premixed jack and cokes. She even said, "oh so you're trying to insult my intellegence"? Like damn, it's nothing personal I'm just trying to get wasted on vacation. I repacked my bag andwalked through right beside her. I made sure she saw that her coworker was WAY cooler than she was.
