Dancing, DJs and day drinking... A classic summer festival combo.
But hand in hand with the music and partying comes a lesser-known festival favourite – waste.
Be it beer cans, empty chip pottles or portaloos, events have a habit of creating waste, and in some cases leaving the whenua in a bad state.
This was laid bare last month when dozens of tents and piles of garbage was abandoned at the Northern Base festival.
Today on The Front Page, Josh Brownlow from Clean Event joins to discuss how festivals can become more sustainable, and how Kiwi festival waste management measures up to our European counterparts.
