I have to say, one of the biggest disappointments last year was the level of slobs at Bonnaroo. Why can't people throw their garbage in a garbage can? Why does it makes sense to just throw your trash all over the place? Is it really that hard to recycle? I remember looking back on the field after the Petty show and the Radiohead show and just seeing plates, cups, food, and all other sorts of garbage. The clean up crews did an amazing job cleaning up each day, but come on, just pick up your shit and clean up after yourself.
i agree. and i couldnt stand to see idiots stumble up and throw cans into the trash when the recycling barrel was right freeking next to it cleary marked. drives me nuts too!
Between the bags, ridiculous amount of trash receptacles, and encouragement, you think folks would manage to be a little cleaner. Still though, compared to other comparable festivals, I'd be willing to bet that Roo is definitely one of, if not THE, cleanest.
id agree to an extent. they do a great job of cleaning it up. but when you leave on monday its much worse then alot of smaller fests. and even when the stages shut down each night im alway disgusted at all the people who leave thier trash. it seems to me its much worse at roo. when all good and gathering of the vibes let out it was much better off, still some trash but not nealry as bad. and more ticketholders go out of thier way to pick something up that was left by another. and you have to work harder to properly dispose of your trash at smaller fests. but more seem to do it. i think it just comes down to the type of people that come to some fests and not others. and if you go nelson ledges or legend valley i think they are left the same way they were before everyone shows up. its amazing at how everyone picks up all there stuff. i am always one of the last to leave and there is no trash anywhere its not supposed to be.
it also doesn't hurt to pick up a few bottles or cups on your way out of centeroo. every little bit helps.
ya know - if we all did this - there would be way less waste. The slobs got on my nerves badly - I agree with everyone - there was always a trash or recycling can nearby -

Every Year.... I bring plastic gloves (extras) and after each headliner i donate an hour of my time to picking up trash. Its fun, people around you are encouraging and sometimes you even find some goodies (cash) But most of all.... it seres a purpose.
We stay clean, and can party another day!
Leave nothing but footprints, Take nothing but memories!

I love this idea.....I will be joining you in this effort. Think about if 1% of the people there did this how much cleaner it would be

^^ i also clean up as much as possible, i usually give the messy people shit too, if any of my neighbors are disrespectful to the farm, i let them hear it. i am not being mean or shitty to them, but more or less giving them a hard time about not helping to take care of something we all love!
Last year right after Radiohead finished their set, me and Crazykittensmile hung around for a few min while the crowd exited. Once the dust settled, all you can see on the ground was a sea of litter. Then one of the head cleaning guys came around and just started cursing and screaming about the garbage. I felt for the guy and the cleaning crew.
ya at smaller fests i pick others stuff up. but at roo im usually in a hurry to ge to the next show. i ALWAYS take care of my own trash though. we have been known to keep a messy camp but again its ALWAYS picked up before we leave. i wish people would act like they are at a party in a friends back yard. but then again your friends dont charge 250 to get in. ill pick up my own trash but at that price superfly can pick up the rest.
Speaking of the Trash, my friends and i would take pick up all the trash we could carry after every show, and either threw it away or recycled it. Sunday night during Phil, me and my friend Ashley, (while on some yummy treats) kicked all the trash into nice little piles while dancing to one of the greatest shows ever

Yeah, I helped pick up trash around my site (Camp The Emperor) last year at the end of the festival for a couple hours, but I think what you did was sick. Karma for you.
my least favorite thing about Roo last year were the guys playing three card monty on some of the corners in the campsites. they brought a vibe that definitely didnt belong at bonnaroo and it was obvious they were there to take advantage of all the people who were f^cked up.
